Steering Rack Oil Leak

[Chancer]

The steering rack in my 94 camry is leaking on the drivers side (at the end of the rack.)

Can the rack be repaired within the car or do I have to remove the whole rack? I was just wondering if anyone else had any experience with this before I tackle the job blind.

If I have to remove the whole rack can it be done under-car or do I have to pull the whole engine out?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Remove rack.

Yes.

If it's not leaking too bad and steering is fine you can leave it for a while.

You'll need to remove the rack to do any repairs on it. If you do a search, there are at least a couple of people who have posted about what they had to go through to get it out, though.
