My 2000 Alero has a Power Steering Leak and I used Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak which seems to have stopped the leak do I still need to get the leak fixed or will the Lucas do the trick?

It will most likely fail again. The Lucas just softens and makes the seals expand to help seal the leak. They are usually on temporary.
