the rack can be fixed without taking the engine out narvey.
i have been defected 4 times now for a leaking power steering rack now and it illudes me as to how it can keep leaking after getting over $600 of work or more each time

i do a lot of street drifting which might contribute to the leaks but i know people who drift more than me and havent had to touch their rack ever !!
if you get it repaired about $600 give or take a bit, if you dont slide it should last forever

Nathan with the rack are you getting it completely recondition this include hoses, basicly if your going to put the steering under that much pressure in my personal opinion you may want to look into investing a completely new steering system. (the p/s pump,all the hoses and rack) might save you more money in the long run.

..or maybe modify your hubs for more lock so your not holding the rack against its stoppers all the time.

I'd ask this guy about his steering mods if I were you:
