Drive to a pit, take off your agbada go under your car with the engine running and take a look your self.

I recently had a problem$ like urs and the leak was not from the steering rack but a rusted metal pipe on steering rack.

And how did you fix it? Replaced the rusted metal, welded it? or
changed the rack with one whose metal wasn't rusted . . i presume u have a pit . . can i use it?

Reduced the length of the leaking metal pipe, cutting off the leaking portion and re-cliping to the rubber pipe.
