My 1998 weeped at the steering shaft input, but just enough to get it dirty and not drip down. Solution: Never hold the steering wheel in the hard right or left position when the pump is at max pressure. That worked for over 60K miles.

Replacing the rack is not a trivial job. Especially with nothing but hand tools and jack stands. A lift is almost required.

I also replaced the PS fluid with Mobil 1 ATF.
