Steering Rack Failure Update Post

Hey all,

So I got to investigating my steering rack and I found something interesting.

After removing the heat shield I found a rock in between my subframe and passenger side inner tie rod boot.

Could this have caused steering rack failure?

There is power steering fluid slowly dripping on the driver side tie rod boot as well.

I don't see any obvious sources for the leak on the passenger side.

i saw your other post.. if you car drive with no problem and car steering wheel turns the wheels ok , no noises or smells, you may well be lucky and just have a minor leak... dont let the garage bs you into work unless you get second opinion...
