    well if you can get the car up in the air, look at the ends of the rack and pinion to see if it leaking from there, if it is its time for a new rack.

    a shop will want a load of money to swap it out. i did mine in about 4 hours and saved i bet close to 500 by doing it myself, i got a used rack for 75 from a yard.

    98 Buick Regal GS, F body brakes, Caddy STS wheels, tinted tails L36 bottom end, lightly ported heads, 1.95 roller rockers, headers, gen 5 N* 3.0 pulley, FSIC, 42 lb injectors, a BrandonHall rebuilt trans, DHP tuned and AEM water/Meth injection https://goo.gl/gpV5kW

    if there is fluid on the belt, i bet its leaking from where the pulley goes into the fluid res tank, and leaking on the bottom side.
