steering rack fluid leak V70-XC70 1999

interesting about the filters.. Well, the verdict from the dealer wwas what I assumed , which is replace the rack.. unifortunatly they gave me an outrageous estimate of $1735.... I'm having my local mechanic in NEw Buffalo,MI do the job for me tommorrow for about $1000, still more than I know it should be, but at least he can get the job done fast.. they also mentioned to me that if it is a particular rack that was made in france, that it has no core value..i guess this is becuase this is the rack that cuased all the problems for the 99's and they want them gone.. not remanufactured.
If I was on my home shop turf in Georgia, the dealer would have done this job for $850, and our local russian mechanics would have done it for about the same...
