Leaking racks never get better, only worse.

Replacement is an easy do.  Get the new one from one of our list
vendors. Be sure and get new rubber boots as well. You will need a
pickle fork to spread the clamp on the end of the steering unit.

Be sure to get this done sooner rather than later or you will lose your
power steering pump, and they are expensive!!
