C5 rack and pinion
Currently on my 4 rack and pinion . Each one was leaking . The previous three racks were purchased from ecklers corvette . When I called to get a warranty replacement they said they are on back order and currently have many units that need to be replaced . Last one I got from advanced auto they sourced it thru rock auto so far so good .

This is a pretty common problem with the C5's. If you already purchased one then definitely get the non leaking new one you deserve with the warranty.
In the future, give Lucas Oil Power Steering Stop Leak a try. Mine went out on my 7 or 8 years ago and still going strong with this vs. a replacement.
