Well it only appears to be leaking from one seal point...at a diamond shaped plate that is bolted with 2 bolts on the bottom of the rack close to the gear...

I saw a rebuil kit at one of the list vendors for like 60 bucks...it would figure that I would only need one ;-) Did something similar on a steering box on a motorhome...40 bucks and only needed two small seals...there was no way I was rebuilding that whole box unless I had to...

Any other suggestions :-)
