I have searched steering rack, steering rack seals, etc but can not seem to find any kind of tutorial on either steering rack removal, or seal change. I have a leak coming from drivers side boot. Car has 160,000 miles on it, but no other problems noted with rack. Should I attempt to change seals or just get a rebuilt rack and install it? Any suggestions/tips would be appreciated.

I have a leak of power steering fluid on the driver's side. I would prefer to fix the leak by replacing the seals. Did you ever find any details on the repair? I have a service manual, but the book does not clearly discuss this and shows the rack from the passenger's side so it is difficult to see what is going on on the driver's side.
