to be honets, any 'oil additive' be it engine, gearbox, or power steering, should only be considered a very short term band-aid. they change the viscosity and othe rproperties, and they will increase the heat generated in the PS system.
if it's leaking, change the seals 
if it's leaking fromt he boots, it's probably just the rack end seals that need attention. much better to change it than run shitty additives thru the whole system
just my 2c.

Thanks for the input. Yeah.. rack end seals, I'll have to investigate how hard this job would be, when I've mentioned to a couple of mechanics, they say "reco rack" time..but seems a bit excessive just for rack end seals. I thought there must be a downside to adding all this viscosity. Are these pumps in corollas pretty resilient? I wouldn't want to wreck the pump if tried this additive for a "short" term fix.
Taking the rack out to fix the rack seals would be a bit of a pain.  . But will most likely have to be done at some point.
Everybody seems to say this product works well, but I woul have expected some premature pump failure?
