My 2000 V70 XC with 160K has developed a leak in the steering rack. This seems to be quite an involved repair and more than I can do in my driveway so I probably have to take it my local shop.

I wonder if there is anything else I should consider repairing at this time since the rack will be out and it will be easier to get to the underside of the engine.

    If the leak isn't too bad, consider flushing the PS fluid and refilling with synthetic ATF. Doing that with Mobil 1 ATF in my 95 855 GLT has stopped my rack seals from leaking.
