HELP! Power steering...
Can someone tell me what went wrong here. Just jacked the car after having power steering problems. Pump was making a whining noise on the way home. Get into the garage... pop the hood. Res was dry. Put a bottle in, turned the wheel and a mess showed up. Jacked the car to find this....
This is the passenger side with wheels right...
Fluid is coming out of the end of the boot. There isnt a hole in the boot.
WHAT HAPPENED? And, What do i need to get replaced. Power steering is not my forte!

I'm guessing you'll have to replace/rebuild the rack.
I'm with you though, I don't have alot of knowledge with PS but I'm guessing a seal let go inside the rack.
I did a little search:

thanks man. If it is an inner seal, rebuilding is out of the question for me. I dont have the time. I am going to try and get a rack here to texas by monday tuesday and get a local shop to replace it. The rack itself is 410 after 220 core on rockauto.com. I have a feeling dealer will be 750+ labor.

No luck anywhere around here. Dealer says 5-10 business days. I have an uncle in the NH area that can get dealer prices and says he has to order straight from manuf. How do i know which Rack i need. Here are the two listed:
