This is leaking, or something with the rack, is it hard or expensive to repair?

if its the rack seals leaking most shops dont reseal racks any more they will recommend replaceing it. the rack runs about 250 to 350 aftermarket rebuild, 850 to 1000 factory new rack. and you will be charged around 4 hrs for replacement and toe setting. if you have a low pressure suction line leak between your pump and resivor about 45 mins charge to replace the hose and refill the system hose is about 30 bucks with the clamps. and as mentioned above the high pressure hose could be the leak labor on that would be around 2.5 hrs. this is all assuming you dont have hicas. and something from that isn't leaking.
