Rack and Pinion Leak

Have a leak coming from my rack and pinion, was wondering if anybody had done the seal repair kit from rockauto or should i just get an aftermarket rack and pinion from advanced auto for 132$ (Fenco). The seal kit is much less, and you still use the stock parts or a 132$ aftermarket rack and pinion??

What do you guys think,

Thanks

Go with the seal kit if you're able to rebuilt it. My rack had a leak a few weeks ago from the seal on the driver's side after bumping a curb. I thought of rebuilding it and a couple guys on here said it was not that difficult. For me, I replaced it with a used one from a nearby junkyard ($78), which came with all OEM tie rods. The original needed an inner and outer tie rod and so it worked well. The Toyota rack is built well and the OEM inner ends look like they are better than the after market. i did rebuild the power steering pump with a seal kit and it went well.
