Hydraulic steering rack fluid leakage

[CrawlerTagz]

My 2000 APX Roadster has been inactive for the past six months, primarily due to a steering issue. The power steering began emitting a foul noise and exhibited low oil levels, leading me to suspect a power steering hose issue. Equipped with a substitute high-pressure hose, I tackled the task this evening.
After extensive searching, I was unable to locate a defective hose, although there was some oil present around the rack. I examined the boot on the passenger side and it appeared to be in good condition.
Subsequently, I removed the boot from the driver's side, resulting in a substantial outpouring of oil.
It appears that I find myself in a predicament.
Is this seal repairable, or must I obtain a new steering rack?

Updated rack schedule. Ensure you acquire a TT rack. The Golf/Jetta rack is compatible and functions adequately, yet the ratio differs—requiring additional wheel rotations to achieve equivalent tire movement.
Should seal kits be accessible and you possess a sense of adventure, you might consider attempting a rebuild. However, that would elevate the period of inactivity.

I appreciate it; I just discovered an excellent document referenced in this forum that elucidates the entire procedure. I suppose I shall have to attempt it.
Inquiry: Are the steering racks and front subframes uniform across all Mk1 models? I am aware of a 2005 roadster with 150bhp that is not equipped with Quattro.

Regarding steering racks:
LHD and RHD are evidently dissimilar.

V6 exhibits distinct characteristics as well.

Regrettably, in RHD, the FWD and quattro configurations exhibit differences.

There are three primary subframe categories: coupe, roadster, and VR6. The final two possess additional reinforcement/threaded bolt apertures.

In what context does the QS belong among those variations?

The power steering pump emits a screeching noise when it runs dry and likely has a limited lifespan in such circumstances.
