My rack is leaking a prodigious amount of power steering fluid out the end the passenger side, despite the addition of two bottles of 'stop leak'. I'm thinking about pulling it out, but the fluid supply and return compression fittings into the top of the rack appear to be impossible to access. Not to mention super-tight from what I can tell.

Is there some trick to getting these off without cutting the oil lines? Or maybe I should let my mechanic have the fun of doing this one? I did my VW rack a few years ago, this appears to be much harder.

Has anyone replaced the seals only? Or is a new rack $$$ the only way to go?
