Leaking steering rack - GZ20 Soarer

Hey all,
I've been leaking power steering fluid from the steering rack on the driver's side. The seal at the end of the rack seems to have been leaking for some time, as the rubber boot recently split and released a fair bit of fluid.
I spose I'll need a new boot and seals for the the rack - so was wondering if anyone has gone about this before and whether I should get new seals from toyota or just a second hand rack?

It *may* be easier just to get another rack. It's inevitable that it will eventually leak though.
Easiest way to get the seals would be to pull one off and give it to Heath to get you a replacement, nice and cheap.

Yeah, I'm all for just replacing the seals, and may as well do both sides. What power steering fluid do I use? Is Heath able to get a boot too?

No idea on what to use, I just use whatever I have lying around 
Heath can't get the boot no, you may have to get that from someone like Odins or through your mechanic if he's feeling nice.

All right then I'll just use that old oil I left at your place, that should do the job??
