    I think my power steering lines are what's leaking. No actual problems with steering, noise, whining, but the boot on the passenger side inner T.R. is ripped and was full of fluid. Dumped it out checked it a week later and a little fluid came out transmission and oil, dirt, grease, maybe mixed in but very little cant quite tell how much res has dropped (it's a little crooked and I can't remember which angle I looked at. What would be going on if fluids made it way past the seal in rack

    The typical rack failure. Mine leaks a little. I’m not changing it unless it gets worse. Ives owned older high mileage cars before. Sometimes you just gotta keep a bottle of whatever leaks handy for topping it off.

    Yeah I almost ordered a rack but didn't know if it was for a double cab. I think the o rings on the lines is the problem. Need to jack it up but it started raining
