Greg, sounds like that rack needs to be replaced. Leaking
anywhere is a sign of demise. Not a hard job to do yourself. Getting the tie rod
ends out of the steering knuckles is the hardest. I use a really big
hammer and whack the end of the threaded spindle, they usually come out in two
or three whacks. I just did one last week, took about three hours all
totalled. I have the racks, tie rods and boots. Call me.
