    Steering rack leak and noise

    The driverside looks like this, is it time for a new rack? It just started making noise and it making a decent patch on my driveway.

    If that's where it's coming from, I'd say one of the seals in your rack blew, and you're probably gonna need another rack.

        pull back the rubber boot to see if it's wet inside or it could be leaking from the pinion on top. Then replace it but if it's the banjos you can fix it

          Are your hoses wet?
