Steering rack leaked badly

[kenloen]

just got back from a hours M/W journey, the last 1/2 mile I heard weird noises. Got home and lift the rear clam, steering fluid chamber empty but pumping fluid back. Turn the engine off thinking boiling the fluid, then notice a line of dripping the last 10m, pop the front clam and there is a puddle of steering fluid all over. Hard to see where its coming from but looks like from the centre area,

Cheers guys, quick q then, for me to give it a full going over I take it the rack will be to come out...

Which side is easier to get it out? Near side or offside?
