could be the steering box, could be a hose, not sure if it could be a tie-rod.

Check those out and report back.

hi admin
I already took off the steering gear out and found there are full of stearing fluid inside the both of side stearing gear boots . hoses and the banjo bolts from pressure and return line at the stearing gear are OK. so where is the fluid coming from?
is there any gasket or o ring inside gear rack housing ? if yes how do we replace its?
thank you for your replys and help

Default leaky steering rack

sounds like you will need to replace your steering rack and pinion,, i think vw pinions are famous for leaking at around 140k miles

if you find a how to link on ring and pinion replacement let me know,, thanks
