power steering / rack and pinion seal leak

What garbage at 47k miles I wouldn't expect power steering whining and power steering fluid all over my drive way and garage. I did this job myself - the dealer wanted over 1000. At first I thought it was the pressure line because all the fluid was leaking down on the lines. Replaced pressure line and still leaked like a b**. Further research found rack seal video on YouTube. Purchased seals at dealer. The job wasn't too hard but it can be done for someone mechanically inclined. With the right tools and YouTube video of can be done.
