Steering Rack Leaking Fluid

My steering rack boot has a hole in it, and it's leaking PS fluid out of this hole. Is it normal to
have fluid inside the boot, or does it sound like my steering rack is wasted ?

(p.s. the rack was replaced 2 yrs ago with a remanufactured one, and there's only 1000 miles on
this 'new' rack)

M.R.


It sounds like the rack is shot again. When there is fluid in the boots, it's generally fluid which
has leaked past the seal. Also, some of the remanufactured ones don't have the best track
record for longevity.
