First identify the problem, the pump or rack (possibly both, but don't assume that).

Inspect the power steering pressure and return lines for any leaks. Inspect connections to the rack for leaks.
Inspect pump seals near pulley for leaks.

Rebuilt racks can run up to $500, but find the problem first.

Take it to a trusted garage for a diagnosis, find a family run business with ASE mechanics vs. A chain store.
