Ford 3400. Replacing seal on steering shaft

I was wondering if I gotta take off the steering shaft that has the balls
around it in order to replace the lower seal? My other question is the
fluid has bin leaking out the steering shaft for a little while now. How
come I?m not losing any fluid from the resivor?
 
Not sure what you mean by "steering shaft that has the balls
around it in order to replace the lower seal?"
Look at the parts diagram in the photo. I assume by lower seal you mean part #14 which is your lower seal. You do have to remove the upper and lower thrust bearings and remove the hydraulic block. MARK THE LINES to the steering cylinders before removing them! Replace the upper seal #35 also and replace Two orings #33. Those parts are readily available from any New Holland dealer for not a whole lot of dough.
When you pull the hydraulic block off - #23 all the little plungers, springs and balls will want to drop out the bottom so pay attention.

Sorry about that. I was referring to #6 on the diagram I wasn?t sure if I had to pull that off. However I did pull #23 off without dropping any plungers now my question is #14 seal i don?t see. Do I gotta pull #6 out to get to that seal? I have some pictures as to where at at with it but I?m not so good with the Internet I don?t know how to send them
 
The steering shaft #6 goes all the way down to the bottom of the steering box. You do not need to pull it to replace seals. Lower seal #14 is inside of the adapter as they call it - #12
Remove #12 and press the seal #14 out then replace.
 
I?m sorry for all the questions. So when I pull the adapter #12 off do I gotta worry about anything falling out like plungers on the other part? I read that the steering shaft #6 has little balls in the bottom will they fall out if I lift off #12?
