Have a similar problem on my 03 Ram...
Was changing the front rotors and pads and noticed fluid on the rack...deployed right now, so wife keeping it topped off until I either get home on leave or she finds someone to look at it. Hopefully it's just the hoses. Not looking to replacing the rack too...the steering pump needs replacing. It will save me some $$$....

Plus, did the front rotors and pads on my CTS, same condition...damn...

03, sorry to hear that but if you can just have your wife take it to a local shop and have them replace the hoses and clamps for ya. I thought my rack was completely shot after seeing all the fluid on my driveway, but it turns out the one clamp near the rack was completely rotted and and the hose was cut through. Good as new now, get that done and you may be in luck. And sorry to hear bout the rotors, they aint cheap.. But what is these days haha. Have a good one yall
