I changed my front tires last week because there's a flat tire. I then found my car is pulling a little bit left when driving on highway so i sent it to do a four wheel alignment but it still pulling to the left. After the second alignment, i was told my power steering rack is leaking but they doesn't recommend me to fix it. I can see a little fluid under the left side of the power steering rack, but nothing on the ground. I filled the reservoir with fluid from lowest limit to the highest, and now it's like 300 miles, the reservoir is still full.
So do I really need to change my rack? Or I can continue driving this car. The mechanic told me he is not 100 percent sure the pulling issue is related to the power steering rack leak.

if the alignment is good but it's still pulling and the rack is leaking it's possible that the rack is worn to the point that the valves are pushing fluid more to that side, it's more likely if, when turning the wheel side to side, there is a clunk or play coming from just inside the rack which will be more noticeable with the wheels pulled so you can get closer and you will probably feel in the steering wheel

Can I ignore this problem until the leak getting worse?
