Are your fluid levels low? Mine leaked from the end seal on the driver's side, so when I turned the wheel to the stop, it spurted out like Peter North. In my case, I had to have the entire rack replaced.

The inner seals are probably worn out. I would try and get a rack from a wrecked car - usually sell for around $50. Getting one from a dealership costs big huge bucks, and getting one from autozone/etc is a NIGHTMARE when it comes to fitment/getting the right one. Trust me, I know!

Go to the auto parts store and get Lucas Power steering stop leak, it also helps from groaning and lubricates seals, etc.
Mine leaked and now it doesnt.
Good stuff.
