Default Steering rack o-rings

Hello,
does anyone know where I can buy the o-rings where the hydraulic lines attach to the steering rack? And also where the shaft meets the rack. I seem to have a small leak after replacing my harmonic balancer. Everything seems buttoned up but I think an o-ring is just rotted. Thank you!!

Thank you! I’ll give it a look. Appreciate the help. Leak seems to be coming from the bottom of this in the pic. More of a slight leak. I can’t seem to see exactly where though! Since the rack was just out it leads me to believe it’s just an o ring or maybe something didn’t get tightened up enough.

Hard to tell from the pic, but if it is leaking there I don't see a seal you can get in my parts catalog

Thanks. Yeah that o ring you’re pointing to is a little wet, but doesn’t seem to be leaking. It feels like it’s more from the bottom of that whole area. But again. Appreciate the help. Thanks.

@Smoken1 one last question, does your parts catalogue show any o-rings for the hard metal lines that come from the ABS module to the rack? Thank you!

looks like there are 4 lines that attach to the rack. I think I’m leaking from the two that are not red and yellow. Thanks!
