Steering rack leaking Ok so I just put my car back together after 5yrs of sitting in the garage. It appears my steering rack is leaking none of the hoses appear to be leaking just the rack itself specifically the lower part where the the steering linkage goes into the rack.
So do I need a new rack or is it rebuildabe? Or is there something on the back side im not seeing that is a easy fix?

Check and see if any of your hoses are
bleed out any air (put front end on jacks, and without turning the car turn the wheel from lock to lock (all the to the left, all the way to the right) 20-ish times.

None of the hoses are leaking and neither is the pump itself. Crazy thing is it leaked when I jacked the front end up to check some other stuff, but after I lowered it down and drove it some got it back home and no more leaking. The fluid in the pump is at the same level. Im confused at this point... Monday when I took found the leak it hadnt started leaking till after I jacked it up which at first I thought it was the pump because of that.
