PS leak from big bolt in front of rack
Not sure what it's called or what function it has...all the searches point to boots or lines leaking, of which I have no issues.

This isn't my rack but you can kinda see the nut on the bottom of the steering box.

It's common for these things to get tired after their 20+ years of service. Mine is leaking from every possible location so badly that you would swear it was an oil pan leak!
RockAuto sells rebuild kits from $25-35. I cannot link you to the writeup, per forum rules, but if you Google FC steering rack rebuild you will find a VERY detailed post that has pictures and instructions. A lot of work, perhaps you'd want to just acquire a reman or a good unit from a member.
