So i noticed recently my car has been leaking on the driveway on the front driver side and decided to take a look at what it could be. I put the car on jackstands and took the wheel off and the driver side tie rod boot was wet. Took off the clamp holding it on and it spilled out some fluid. Do you know if i can just replace a seal where the tie rod enters the rack itself or do i have to get a whole new rack and pinion? 

 

Also is power steering delete a viable option and relatively easy?

Porsche unfortunately does not sell a lot of internal components for the rack and a new one retails north of $2700:

And there never was a manual rack for this car.
