From which car was the steering in the Tuscans taken?
Discussion
Mine started leaking very soon after being refurbished, but was from the nut in the centre of the rack not being done up properly, and not the seals where the original leak came from. Turned out the nut needed Locktiting or something to sort it out.
TVR Power refurbish racks now by the way.

As a matter of fact me too expects the guys who did the refurb to repair that free of charge. But I hate the job of removing the rack. Last time it was done while engine was out plus it was done at a proper workshop. Now it will be my homework. I assume it is a b

I had my rack refurbished.Turnaround for the rack repair was 3 days, as long as you give him some notice, so he can get the parts in.

No problems since and no leaks.
Without saying too much, I was a monument 
You could try some stop leak fluid? When mine was leaking bad enough to empty the reservoir within 30 seconds of use, the stop leak fluid swelled the seals enough to allow me to drive 40 mins to my mechanic hardly losing any fluid at all. It would slowly drip still, but was 90% better. If you have a small drip, perhaps this will give you a few more months of motoring?

I like that.What year is your car? Maybe you could buy a used rack, get it sorted properly and swap them over. Get yours redone under warranty and sell to recoup your costs.
