I'm new to Toyota repairs, but not new to cars and forums. While helping with my daughters newly acquired '95 Camry 2.2L we diagnosed leaks in the PS system I discovered a number of problems. I have replaced the pump with a re-mfg unit and the power hose as well as the return hose. Everything is okay and not leaking. Now I discover a leak of PS fluid coming from the right front (Pass. Side) bellows of the rack and pinion. evidently there is a leak in the seal of the rack somewhere and it is coming out a small hole in the outside end of the bellows. Do you suggest a replacement of the rack and pinion completely or is there a somethat less expensive but good repair? Thanks

that is under high pressure, so therefore, i would not recommend any sealant as that too can plug up any small orifices in the system. i think you should get a reman rack and pinion.

Thanks for the suggestion. Last night I was dreaming I made a cheap repair and was driving her car on the Blue Ridge Highway and going down a switch back road to town. You can imagine what happens when you have no steering on a sharp turn going downhill on a mountain road. Ouch!!!!!!!
