My rack now leaks enough to require adding fluid every week - when it starts to make noise. I isolated the leak to the seal at the steering column shaft - I do not see any other leaks when I wash off all the crud on the rack. I have read that this seal is quite a difficult diy - but if I pay someone to do it am I better off just replacing the rack? The car is 1987 900t with 162,000 miles on it so I wonder how many miles the rack has left in it. What would you do? I figure it might be $100 for the seal job, or I could probably diy the rack for about $200 in parts. TIA
