When I bought the car and started looking underneath I saw alot of oil that looked like a main seal. I took a picture of my steering rack,and was curious if this looks like its leaking and if I need a new one. I cant tell if this is ps fluid. If so where is it leaking from? wouldnt my boots be completely soaked?

To find out what fluid your leaking see which fluid your adding. In those pictures everything looks reasonably dry. If your not adding fluid your not losing fluid. Rear mains drip pretty bad and power steering leaks do to . I would replace that boot or else your gonna get a lot of crap up in there. Then you will need a new rack for sure.

hope this helps.
 
If you had a power steering leak you would know. I have one and the whole driver side of my car is covered. I hate it. I am working on fixing it though. It sucks having to replace the rack because it is a giant pain. I would fix that boot for sure. It happens quick.
