       There are two solouitions. 
 
       Buy a rebuilt unit from autoparts, they will take your leaking unit in 
exchange.  

       Rebuilt the unit yourself.  A kit is available from <A HREF="http://www.busdepot.com/">The Bus Depot - 
Discount VW Parts - Main Menu</A> or <A HREF="http://www.rmrautosport.com/fr/coordonnees/">RMR Autosport - Coordonns</A>.  RMR in Quebec 
has the better price but not sure they will ship to USA.  Rebuild is straight 
forward.  Just work slowly and keep everything clean.  Rack comes apart by 
unscrewing the two cylinder retaining inserts in each end casting.  The rest 
is self evident if your mechanically inclined.
