Default Leaking Power Steering Rack

I have a 2005 V70 non turbo 2.4 with 192,000 miles with a power steering leak at the steering rack where the metal lines enter the unit. Are there seals or O-rings that fail or will this be a bigger issue? It looks like it's only leaking from the lower line but it's a consistent drip, i need to refill the reservoir every 3-4 days even with minimal driving. I added Prestone PS fluid with Stop-Leak but it hasn't helped. I'm going to try other power steering additives but i don't want a patch job but would rather do a proper repair. The attached picture is from the drivers side wheel well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Looks like you need o-rings.

There's a part number but I don't have it. Your local dealer can help you. Should only be a few bucks.

$9.60 at the dealer. EACH!!! Was thinking about trading the car in but I'm keeping it based solely on the fact that it has $10.00 O-rings on it.

I have the same problem. Did the o-ring fix the problem?
