Default PS Steering Rack leak....what to replace?

my PS has been leaking for a while now. and it leaks a TON....maybe a pint every 3 days. i'm trying to figure out which seal(s) to purchase and replace. It's leaking out of the Passanger Tie rod end. The boot is ripped and i can see it leaking out of the cylinder, basically like PS fluid is getting past the seals inside the cylinder. Also i can see air bubbles in the reservoir.

here is a page from my helms, is it going to be one of these seals?

Jared, IIRC there is a seal right inside of the outer "cylinder" it is the big black tube that slides on over the rack, and it has to be leaking some for all that fluid to get out.

But, I have a hard time believing that everything else in there is fine and it is just that seal, seems to me like that much fluid shouldn't be getting that far out, maybe the piston seal is bad. Though it isn't a true "seal" due to the fact that it leaks a little bit by nature, it could be really bad.

It is hard to say just from what you've given, you're probably just gonna have to pull the thing apart to fix it anyways.

They actually sell a "seal kit" for jobs like this, it should have everything you need in it, so that you can pull it apart and give it a good full refresh.
