Well I took the money pit to the shop today- small drops on garage floor.

At any rate the mechanic thinks the rack is likely leaking. They put a dye in the system and will recheck on Friday.

I know very little about rack an pinion: Is it possible to have the seals replaced and will the average garage do this (before I ask them). BTW I am noticing a little shake in the wheel, but have always attributed it to the engine.

Thanks for any advice.

Better to get one with low mileage from wrecking yard. They are around 500.00 dollars new. I need one myself but mine is a right hand drive so I cant find one in the yards, so I guess I will soon break down and buy a new one.

Common thing is for the hoses O rings to go bad and leak, check that first. Subaru racks dont leak when they go bad, they just get very stiff.
