Default Rack

For awhile I had a small power steering leak. It seems that the rack and pinion is leaking fluid.
Any suggestions? Doesn't look like an easy fix.

They are known to leak internally

Where does it seem to be leaking? From the solid lines that screw into the rack and pinion? I have some small leaks there that seem like they could be removed and reseated or perhaps slightly tightened. I am hesitant though because it is my daily driver. Can't do much with internal leak, that I know of. There are rebuild kits but have ready several posts that say it's better to get one that is already done.

if the fluid is leaking out the rubber bellows...the end seals are nfg and the only fix is rack replacement...then wheel alignment.
