Okay so when I had my car up in the air the other day doing my clutch I found out the right side boot on my rack and pinion is leaking. Is there a way to fix it or is it better to just replace the whole thing?

If the boot is cracked, replace the boot.

If it is leaking it is time for a new rack and pinion.

lowered cars usually go through boots …cv boots / rack boots / dif boots … its good to check them on a regular bassis so you dont have to go through axles or even a rhd rack ☹
