Done that before but with a LOT less BF. Did buy some 'stop leak' for a leaking rear main seal on my old 1 ton that was leaving a good 6" puddle every time I drove it and it reduced it to dime size. Drove it like that for many more years before finally donating the truck. I've added STP to power steering fluid before and it worked well for somewhat minor leaks but the rack in my 95 Dakota was leaking pretty bad and it ended up with about 75% STP for several years before finally swapping out the rack. Yeah, STP is my dope drug for cars and have been doing stuff like that on beaters since the 70's. Cold weather isn't kind to that but driving it easy until things warmed up seemed to work ok.An old mechanic's trick is to use 50/50 brake fluid and power steering fluid.
