I would agree with what Mark said in his answer to your question but would add a little more... The top plug to my steering gear box is vented through a tiny hole in the side, right about the top of the pipe threads. I did not see it at first because it was hidden by dirt, paint and grease. Also, I encourage you to use Cornhead grease, available from most tractor dealerships. Unlike many other greases which can be "stiff" and waxey, Cornhead grease is a very "wet" grease and will lube the steering gears well without allowing an air pocket to form between the teeth, which would not allow sufficient lubrication. Cornhead grease also maintains a very constant viscosity throughout normal temperature ranges. It is not expensive and comes in grease-gun tubes. It won't leak anymore than any other grease. I have had excellent results using it.
