Power steering fluid leak

Power steering fluid leak
Hi all,
I have a 1982 F150 and I have just noticed power steering fluid spluttering out from near the Pitman arm. On closer inspection I got this
Close up of the pitman arm with splines showing
I am not sure if this is the way the sector shaft should look and if so, I have to replace a seal, since the leak is coming from near the splines and dripping down to the other end. I am also not sure if the sector shaft has somehow loosened itself form within the steering box and went down a bit, dislodging the seal and contributing to a leak?
Would really really appreciate any help on this as I'm working in Libya and am unlikely to find any local help to fix this problem on a 1982 Ford.
Thanks.....
