Power steering leak in Accord

I have a power steering leak in my 1991 Accord. I’m nursing this car
along as it dies a slow death and can’t afford to re-do the system.
Right now, I’m having to add fluid at least a couple of times a month.
Any ideas whether or not the Lucas Power Steering fix is okay to try?
I’m not sure if it is compatible due to the fact that Honda wants you
to only use their P.S. fluid, but the unit’s in pretty bad shape so
I’m wondering how much more harm can it do? I bought the car used so
I’m not sure if the prior owner used Honda-only fluid.

how does the cost of fixing the system stack up against the cost of
replacing the vehicle?
