steering box adding lube

I know this is normally a no go, but taking out the gearing box on a headered car is a mayor pia.

Is there a possibility of adding lube to the steering box without overfilling it.

To put things in perspective. This is a body off resto. So U-joints were all replaced, it has 2500 km on it right now.

I would be surprised that the U-joints would only do this when backing up.

Exhaust leak will play a game with you. Fix it first.

You need : at least 14 at idle, with a carb more likely 13-13.5.
Cruise, you can get away with constantly 14.

Accel and WOT is 12.5.

Any bigger and the curb leading the 3" pipes into the muffler would end up against the tire.
