Good afternoon,
Unfortunately, you just caused a whole lot more issues with adding that stop leak. That stuff is no good at all and ruins the seals in the rack and the pump.
At this point, you need to replace the pump and the rack itself. The seals in the pump are most likely damaged as well.

With the replacement rack, you will need new bolts for the tie rod ends. Fastenall will carry them for you as they are special. Take one of them with you to match up.
Once you get the new rack and pump installed, then have it aligned to be sure the front end is correct.
