The "popping" you are hearing when the steering is at full lock is something i have experienced on all of my c900s. It feels as if the two front tires are not moving together properly. The "slipage" is worse if the pavement is slick, wet or coated with a traffic membrane you sometimes see in new parking garages. It seems to be made worse by old, worn tires. The C900 has an unusually tight turning radius and i think that this may be a natural byproduct of that. I would not worry too much about it.
The leaky rack is unconnected i believe. Use a power steering fluid with some kind of stop-leak. I have had good success with the Kleen-Flo product but have not found the valvoline (with stop-leak) that effective. The Kleen-flo slowed the leak from weekly to bi-monthly fill-ups. Cheaper to buy a couple of jars of power steering fluid every year than replace the rack. Others will have their own favourite additive.
