Default Rack & Pinion - Reman, New, or ??

So I'm leaking from the R&P boot so a seal is busted and it's now making loud moaning sounds when I turn to the right but not to the left. What are my options here?

Can I just keep topping off the PS fluid and let it keep leaking until it becomes too much to ignore?

Does anyone make a new OEM or improved aftermarket replacement or is my only option a reman? If reman, who has reliable remans cause my experience with remans has never been good?

Threw some Lucas Oil PS Fluid with Leak Stoppage in there - we'll see if that helps but I'm not expecting miracles.

Who did you go through? How long have you had it? How many miles have you put on it?
