Dealer says rack/pinion leaking at both ends....

Here the pic here sent. I'll tell him to hold off and I'll have a look at it.

Note your oil filter and catch tray is just above your "leak" 1) it looks old 2) someone may have been sloppy when changing the filter. Spray down with brake clean and keep an eye on it.

They usually leak under the boots. David1 may be correct

You need to clean that all up and keep an eye on it instead of "maybe this, maybe that.

Mine has been leaking for ages, but the part alone - even from RockAuto - was $600+.. I added some stop leak and now only have to add a smidge of fluid every 6 months. I had a similar issue with my Mountaineer and the stop leak completely sealed the leak for 15 years.

Someone just liked my post above today, so while I was here I figured I would update: 2.5 years later and 207k and I haven't had to add a drop since I last posted.
