Frank,

It looks like you are trying to complete the repair youself, but I'd recommend taking it to a Dodge dealer for help with the diagnosis. Going to the dealer may save you some time and money over trying to figure out what the problem is and how to fix it yourself. They will also be able to review if there was any consequential damage.

If you have any inquiries or would like assistance locating a Dodge dealer, PM me and I'd be happy to help.

Best of luck.

Frank:
There should not be PS fluid coming from the CV boot on your front axle/halfshaft. I think you may be referring to the steering rack tie rod end for that side. Dodge is known for leaking racks as both my previous 01 Durango along with the wife's 05 Grand Caravan had leaking racks replaced before 30K miles.

Do a litle more inspection and get back to us here with your findings.

Don
