I have a good used rack-n-pinion unit for sale if you want it, no leaks...It just needs the boots replaced, easy as pie with the unit off the car..
Also, it has a set of greaseable MOOG tie rod ends that come with it..
I have no idea how much a shop would charge to replace the unit..
shoot me a pm if you want it..

404: $80 rack not found.
Can get them locally for around $170+core. Ask for a discount on it- if you regularly do business with them, they know your face, and are getting a high(er) dollar item; a lot of auto parts stores do 10%. It can't hurt anyway though, right?

WHOA!!! i think you got raped on the pricing. i bought mine from Advance Auto for $150 with my core. and replaced it. its a bit of a pain if you don't have the right tools. i was told to remove the crossmember for this job but didn't have to . as for estimates from a shop... well i think it'll vary on how much of a crook the shop can be.

You may want to just keep an eye on your power steering fluid level for a little while and see if it goes down. I just had the same problem: driver's side rack boot was completely torn in half, looked like a rack leak, but turns out my fluid level never went down so much as a drop. Replaced the rack boot, all is fine. You can have a torn boot without a rack leak, pretty common.
