check any link on here for rack & pinion replacement, then click the link I have supplied so you can find the joys of doing it on a Taurus. Buy a factory service manual, and expect a lot of busted knuckles.
The boots on a rack-n-pinion are there to keep the inner tie rods clean. If power steering fluid is in the boots, then the seals on the rack-n-pinion are leaking. At this point you need to either have it rebuilt or buy a new one. I am a A.S.E Master certified automotive technician.

Much easier and cheaper to replace the rack with a rebuilt unit than to try to fix the old one.
The rack and pinion costs around $200. Figure in labor and it will probably cost around $600. Maybe a little more or less as some shops charge a lower labor rate.
