evo_koa is correct. You have a leaking seal in your steering rack. Here's a link with more info: https://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/8...05-32-180.html
You can buy a seal kit from an auto parts store for much less $$. IDK the extent of your mechanical abilities, but I would recommend just buying a rebuilt rack for your car.

You have an internal leak inside the steering rack and it will need to be rebuilt or replaced.
Echoing what Hot_Dog said, you may just want to by a remanufactured rack. Having rebuilt one several times, it would work for awhile and then fail again. I gave up and bought a remanufactured rack, and I've been happy with it since.
