[Healeys] Leaky Steering Box (NOT from seal)

[Bob Spidell]

First thing I did.  Possible leaking through the split in the washers.

Had same issue with freshly-rebuilt box for our BN2; drained box and 
applied gasket sealer between all the shims.  Guess I'll have to try 
that--was hoping for a reprieve.
