    I have a 06 gxp. I installed a new rack and pinion like half a year ago. Now the new one, or I should say remanufactured one, from Autozone is leaking. Here's a picture I got online that I modified to show where my leak is.

    It's that bolt. I haven't been able to get underneath my car yet because they won't let me do it here at the apartment complex and I can't get to work where I usually work on my car because of flooding (I'm in houston). But could this be as simple as replacing an o-ring or washer? Is it even serviceable? What is that bolt for anyways? Is it for draining power steering fluid?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Believe that is the rack adjustment bolt. Not sure if there is an o-ring behind there though. Never took one apart.
