remove the two hydraulic hoses that supply the hydraulic fluid to the rack, these have a fairly small (square type..?) O-ring that most likely (hopefully) is the cause for the leak..
yes it's the lower of the two that has failed, it looks like corrosion has weakened it and the pressure caused a fracture !

Bruce, you may want to replace that section of the hose that goes from the connector behind the driver (US) to the rack because both ends of the hose are crimped
dropping the rack is super easy and theres absolutely no need to drop the carrier housing. its pretty straight forward. 8mm hex to get the hoses. 13mm to loosen it from the column. two 15mm bolts attach it to the sub frame. then you just have to pop the tie rods off the wheel carrier. pretty much no major obstructions and potential spillage is minimal.
After cleaning the mess, I would replace No. 1, 2, 17 & 18 and hopefully the leak didn't lower the fluid level too much to damage the pump in the long run
