Hi etane,

If the corrosion is not too big an area, welding would be a better choice.

The power steering rack needs to be rebuilt to rectify the leak. You can change the assy which would be faster.

Steering rack boot are the bellows at both end of the steering rack for protecting the rack from dirt, water etc.
