I have had a power steering leak for some time. I fixed one hose near the reservoir a couple years ago and that slowed it down, but now it has gotten worse again. Much worse! Found the leak is from driver's side where boot covers rack going in/out. Boot was shot, large end disconnected. OP in this thread had same symptom, and I found another thread with exact same system, and both forum members replaced the rack. Is a new rack the only resolution? Can I repair/rebuild the seals at the ends of the rack? I do not have variable assist.
