my power steering pump started "MOANING" when i turned the wheel this morning. checked the fluid level and it was low...not sure how i missed that the last time i checked fluids..but anyway.

i've noticed the last few times under the car that some fluid is leaking out of the steering rack (not sure actual name...kindda the old rack&pinion).

is there something minor that can be changed to stop leaks? maybe a rebuild gasket or o-ring kit? or do i need the entirely new unit?

the leak is slow, so i'm not immediately worried, but eventually i'll need to fix it.

thanks
