Default my power steering leak hunt continued...

well my buddy could not make it over so i got the TT on the ramps and started searching myself today. got my wife to put some fluid in the reservoir while i tried to spot where the leak was. i didn't see anything from the hoses but it is leaking from the rubber boots on the tie rods. does this mean the rack and pinion is shot? any info would be greatly appreciated!

Default that's what i thought.

well, the repairs will have to wait as our cash flow has greatly diminished lately. the wife had stopped working to go back to school so we've been on a very strict budget lately! she is back to work now and will be done with school soon so hopefully we can get the money together a.s.a.p. and i can get the TT back on the road.
