Default Power steering leak.

I've got a power steering leak behind the front passenger side wheel, and its dripping onto what I think is the control arm. I know its not the brake fluid, brake fluid level is fine, and the power steering reservoir is next to empty. I'm just wondering how would I get at the leak to fix it.

Does it look like this? http://s837.photobucket.com/albums/z...=Photo0329.jpg

If so.. then i was told the rack and pinion is bad..

not to thread jack, but what if the rubber is still in-tact? but its leaking? mine isn't torn, so does that mean it can be rebuilt? I'd REALLY rather spend my tax return on an H22 and not a ****ing rack and pinion. =[

yeah if it's dripping and your PS fluid is drained, you've got a problem. I don't know if you can just replace a seal or if the whole damn thing has to be replaced, but your problem is in there.

mines going to be looked at by a mechanic in the next couple weeks. I'm hoping all he'll have to do is replace some seals... but if its going to be a replacement then I'm afraid its going to put a hold on my H22 build. =[
