well, you know rack boots are common wear items. If not torn up, and allowing grit to get on the shaft, then perhaps you could get by with replacing the boots. my boots get damp (no tears), but not enuf to drip, so I leave the rack alone. Seals should be replaceable if you had to (why I suggest maybe taking the rack and the FSM to a rebuilder if you go that route). Texasoil when he was around used to suggest to me to use a small amount (like 2 oz) of MMO mixed in with the PS fluid to swell the seals. The BITOG fanboys disagree with MMO, but its your call.
Also, keep in mind that the rack bushings may be worn/sloppy if everything else seems good. I'm sure amayama still has the bushings, and best part is they are super light for shipping.
