'96 850 N/A Wagon.

Steering pump has been slowly losing fluid. About an ounce or two a week.

Inspected and found that the small end of the driver's side gaiter had broken and there was an occassional drip from there of power steering fluid.

Replacing the gaiter is not a big deal, but I am concerned about the presence of power steering fluid in this part of the rack assembly.

Shouldn't power steering fluid be restricted to the inner portions of the rack and there should only be grease in the area of the gaiters?

Or, is this minor amount of power steering fluid in the gaiters normal?
