The advice on townsendimports.com is that if stop leak products don't stop the leakage, the only fix is a new steering rack.
I went through this recently with my 9000. The input shaft seal is the most common leakage point, apparently, and my PS rack was no exception. The stop leak worked for only a few months and then the dam just burst. The leakage was so bad, it couldn't be driven even short durations without refilling the PS reservoir. When leakage gets this bad, the PS pump is at risk- you can't run it dry for very long.
There is a good write-up for the rack replacement, also there is a job estimate on townsendimports.com if you want to see what's involved.
