I've got a fluid leak coming from the drivers side tie rod boot - looks like power steering fluid. Do I need to replace both tie rods or is there sometihing I can do with the boot?
Thanks.

Tie rod ends dont have fluid in them, they have grease, the thick grey kind, and it wouldnt keep leaking out all the time only once the boot breaks. I think you have a different problem then just tie rod ends. Does the fluid smell like p/s fluid? if so then you might have a crack in one of the powersteering hoses, make sure you keep checking your power steering fluid. What I think is happening though is your drivers side axle seal has gone bad and needs to be replaced, so check for leaks around the halfshaft on the drivers side of the trany. You can identify oil leaks by puffing baby powder on the area or flower and then cleaning up of course.
