Steering Rack replace@ 44k?

Have a slow drop in ATF in my Power Steering sys. for the past 2 weeks. I thought it was just air (no drips) so I Bled/flushed the system after the first week. Still dropping so I checked the rack this past weekend. Milked about a half quart of ATF out of one of the steering boots.

Steering is fine as long as I keep the fluid topped off every 30 mi.

It's an 07 and I just cracked 44k mi. Has anybody had something similar happen?

I'm bringing it into the dealer and I know they're gonna want to drop a new steering rack in it.

What do you think?

 

i just had to put a new rack in mine few weeks ago. truck has 68K. toyota covered it under warranty

 

We'll see if mine's still under warranty. Does it start from time of purchase? I'm thinking it does...
