I have a 2006 TDI Beetle. It recently began to leak power steering fluid. It is leaking bad. I put about a quart a week into it. They guy at the VW parts department said to put some stop leak into the fluid to slow down the leak. Is that a good idea? I know this fluid can't be mixed with any other type of fluid. If stop leak can be used, which one should I try?

In the end, I will need to repair it. The dealership said it was a gasket and I needed to replace the steering rack for $1600. I need to talk to the local mom and pop shops.
