You will have to keep adding Power Steering fluid.
it cant they dont have one.
Sounds like you have a bad seal on the rack and pinion. The bellows is only to keep dirt and water out of the rack and pinion, it is not a seal to hold pressure in.
You have a leak. The leak can be from the pump or any of the fittings. You may also have a leak at the rack & pinion.
The main reason to replace the rack is a fluid leak.
where is it leaking from, the rack? if so no choice REPLACE RACK UNIT
The repair will depend on the problem. If there is an internal issue then replace the rack. If it is a leak ow worn joint in the steering then that can be replaces separately.
Temporary at best depending on the source of the leak.
It depends on the location of the leak. Commonly the feed hoses from the reservoir to the power steering pump will leak, the fix is to just replace the clamps.
We had to replace the rack and pinion in our 2005 T&C. The only symptom we had was the power steering fluid was leaking.
fluid can be leaking from pump or from hoses or seals in pwer steering i doubt very much it will leak from rack and pinion as the fluid does not actually go to the rack and pinion
I have a 2002 Nissan Altima and under warranty thank god they had to replace the power steering rack and pinion..also have had a new engine and transmission something done with the rear end under recall..car is a lemon...it could have something to do with the rack and pinion not sure how to fix but probably the answer
could be several places, power steering hose, rack and pinion (or steering gear box) or power steering pump.
