Torn boot on steering rack
When I was replacing my front A arms I tore a little hole in the boot on the passenger side. It now leaks a little. Do you think it would be just power steering fluid or is there some kind of lubrication in there? This happened a few months back and nothing bad has happened but I just started thinking about it because it made some nasty noises when I turned hard right into a parking spot.

I've heard that it should be dry in there, if it is leaking fluid, then one of your seals inside are leaking. I don't know if there is any truth to that or not. My original SS boot is in the same condition. I replaced the rack and pinion and have been contemplating repairing the original myself.
