Default Does the rack and pinion rack have a drain plug?

I see a very small hex head fitting on the bottom of the power steering pump (driver side of the rack). I am getting some minor seepage of ps fluid from there, looks like the source anyway. Is that small hex head fitting a drain plug?... and if so, what the heck do you get on it with?

:rolleyes: It's not a drain, it's probably a tension adjustment for the gear.

:crazy: There is no "drain" for the P/S system...
