I didn't have any leaks but the steering was really stiff, LR changed the shaft for me and fixed the problem. Spoke to someone else and they said shaft failure is common on this vehicles.

Assuming it really is a leak from the power steering (should be possible to tell by checking the level in the reservoir):

you need to have the vehicle put up on a lift and the power steering rack and pump and associated pipework inspected for the source of the leak. Don't wait for the power to fail as that can be dangerous.

Problems with the steering column and joints usually involve stiffness, noises or detectable play - not leaks. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE
