Is wobble a steering rack problem?

[Ozark Lee]

Is it worse under acceleration? If so bad inner CV joints on the axles are a suspect as well.

I am currently using some Valvoline ATF stop leak to see if it helps with leak.......

I stopped a bad leaking rack with AT-205 reseal. You might want to try it if the Valvoline doesn't work.

It looks like the valvoline is slowly starting to work; for those of you that have had success with it, do you just keep topping it off until it stops going down? Just curious...

I'll bet ya a donut it's your inner tie rods! And I like donuts

Well, looks like I owe you a donut... After going to get it aligned, they couldn't do it because of "Excessive inner tie rod play". Which kind of pisses me off, because I just put on new Meyle inner tie rods last April, about 10k miles ago. Well, guess I'll get my money back on those (FCP) while I order the oem version (Lemforder or TRW, which is the best?).

Just to add some closure to this post:
-I replaced the inner tie rods with TRWs; the passenger side was loose as can be, and both sides unscrewed without a wrench! I obviously did not apply loctite, shame on me.
-the power steering leak seems to have gone away; I used about a bottle and a half of the Valvoline ATF stop leak.
-got an alignment, still had a bit of a wobble. Got new tires and voila! It's running quite beautifully now. Still need some new struts, but it's the smoothest I've felt it.

So there you have it! Thanks for the advice.
