I've noticed that I've been getting a bit more play in the steering wheel over the last three years. There is a slight oil leak coming from the teleflex rotary piece that the steering wheel mounts to. Could this oil leakage be the reason for the play? When I move the wheel from left to right, (only moving the wheel within the play and not turning the outdrive) nothing else is moving, unless I turn the wheel thru the play and actually move the outdrive. I have checked to see if the slop or play was in the cable, and have traced the play down to the dash.

I have to assume you have hydraulic steering from this statement, and if you do have a leak, it will get air into the steering as well and it will cause excess play.

Next, you say you have slop in the cable.

Hydraulic steering does not have cables.
So now I am confused of what you have.
