Default hydraulic fluid in drivers side tie rod boot.

most likely a rack seal? any ideas, i cant get in and take the boot off right now. just looking for some input from anyone who experianced the same thing. i know its a common problem, cars got almost 150k on it. seems like its time for a new rack.

it does sound like a rack seal indeed. All I can tell you is to check what brand your rack is and make sure to order the same one if you do replace it.
