Default Hydro Boost Leak!

Hi guys, its been awhile.

Ok, it looks like I have a leak from a small hole (weep Hole?) on the bottom side of my Hydro Boost. I put some lucus stop leak in the power steering fluid with no results. Can I just plug this hole and forget about it, or is this hole sever a purpose I don't know about?
Trying to find a patch without spend the BIG bucks to replace the Hydro Boost.

The leak would indicate that you have a seal leaking. Of course. Putting anything over the hole would stop it temporarily....maybe a few hundered miles. Best thing to do, if you are mechanically inclined, is to either rebuild the unit yourself, or buy a reman part and play parts changer. Then there's always the big bucks way....the dealer!

I guess I will break out the JB weld and see if I can stop the leak.
