if its the seal where the steering column connects too, I have the same problem. The only way to fix it is to swap in a sealed steering rack, or rebuild what you've got... either of which requires removal of the rack nonetheless

furtunately for me, I only get 2-3 drops a week on the garage floor... something I can live with
