Been a while since I posted here and it seems that the usenet is ending, boohoo!
I have a 2008 Fiesta Mk5 and the steering rack is leaking power-steering fluid from the very end of the offside gaiter.
Does this mean a new PAS steering rack or can it be repaired? I'm told that to replace it means dropping the whole sub-frame, which is beyond my skill level.
Lastly, if it is a replacement, can another model of Fiesta steering rack likely be used? (Mine's the 1.4 petrol - seems that the Mk6 are far more common).
TIA
