I noticed that my passenger side inner tie rod boot is torn and leaking.
Tie rods and boots were replaced almost 2 years ago.
See the pic below - there is another leak marked with an arrow, I don't know where it's coming from.
How bad is it to drive like that and how long can I go without replacing it ?

 

i got the same thing happen to me, its like power steering fluid is coming out of the boots and dripping on the sway bar bracked bushings. i still havent had time to change them out, but i do think that the longer you wait, the more it will destroy the bracket bushing or even the control arm bushings. which sucks cuz then thats more unnessecery work

 

Looks like PS fluid leaking from the pump or one of the lines (this is the passenger's side looking forward, correct?).

Wait, are you saying that you marked the sway bar endlink with an arrow? Because you didn't. That's the bellows around the inner tie rod. That's the steering rack, not the sway bar.

 

Yeah , sorry, it's the inner tie rods. That's the passenger side.

The main leak is from the torn boot, I guess leaking from the steering rack.
Also the power steering fluid level is a the "Full" line".

So my question is how long can I go with a slightly torn boot and leaking steerin rack ?

 

Longer than you'd care to, really. It'll last for quite a long time.

FWIW that's just a dust boot, if it's leaking from there it means that the seal in the rack itself is leaking. A bit more involved than just the bellow itself.

 

Thanks bro,

I really don't have the money to go change the boot and have an alignment again.
My car just hit 200k last week and I hope it will run for one more year without any major problems .
