Do I need a new steering rack?

Hey guys,

I was under my car today changing the oil and noticed powersteering fluid leaking out of the passenger side rack boot (tie rod to rack boot).

I am assuming this means the seals in the rack are bad and need replacement?

Great news since my steering column u joint just died last week, and the powersteering pump

Any suggestions on where to go or what to do / how hard the job is?
