Gabe, you may want to clean very well the area where the both of the hydraulic fluid tubes connect at the steering rack, as they have an o-ring (one each) that is very easily replaced, but those would make a mess if not sealing properly.

They are very accessible, if you remove the front driver side wheel they will be right in front of you, hopefully this is the cause.

Good luck!

Recently, I got a quote to rebuild a rack and pinnion from an Alfa and the OH cost was not really cheap ($400-500) but it came with a two year warranty.

Removal is straight forward, if I remember correct, besides replacing the seals at each end, they replaced one or two 'pillow bearings'..? or so.. (sorry, this was a couple of years ago..).

PS: a used rack from Woddie may be a bit cheaper..
