help p/s oil leaking

i noticed this morning a big leak under my car and it was power steering fluid, and it seems to be leaking from the passenger side boot rack, do i have to replace the whole thing or could i just fix that side, is this a simple fix? or what could i do to fix this?

^ Well, find out exactly where it's leaking from before you get a new/reman/rebuilt rack.

I know you said from the boot area, but clean the parts and area to make sure it isn't just a fitting. Yes, I'm being optimistic here, but it could save you a bit of money.

i double checked and im pretty sure its the boot i was talking about, is it difficult to remove the whole rack, i really cant spend much, so im just making sure the ps pump doesnt give out
