The main leak points are the end links, places where hoses connect and there is some kind of plug opposite where the steering shaft enters the rack (mine leaked there).
I also had a leak in the high pressure hose that goes from the pump to the rack. That one leaked at the pump end.
Can you give us an idea of about where it's leaking? Center, passenger side, driver's side?
