So I just went out and tried to look at it again. My steering box seems to be leaking, I can feel a good amount of oil on top of the pitman arm. Im fairly confident this is the issue after talking to some people and looking at it, but Im no expert. I would change it myself if I had the necessary tools at school with me, and I also dont want to snap the bolts holding it to the frame, which I have watch other people do on other vehicles
While, yes that needs to be fixed, A leak alone won't cause the symptom you're talking about. Now there is a chance that something mechanical failed inside and took out the seal. If you can, grab ahold of the output shaft with a glove and see if you have any play there. Either way, nowadays, gear boxes are replaced and not rebuilt, so chances are you'll get a whole new gear box.
