    i drive a 355 GTS... i notice a small stain puddle about 3 cm in diameter on my garage floor couple of weeks ago....near my left rear wheel...

    i brought it into the dealer's for a check, my mechanic told me that the steering rack is leaking due to wear and tear and i need to replace it.....

    i was told that it will probably cost about $3000 USD !!! without labor charges , it has to be replaced and can't really be repaired !

    anyone there has an experience or similar problem with a 355 steering rack?

    ..... the leak kinda of stopped i think as the stain remains kinda the same for a few weeks and i don not experience any probelms during my driving....

    just wish for some advice out there....

    can i leave it alone or do i need to attend to it on a urgent basis ?

    do i HAVE to change it or wait till it really breaks ? consequences of that ?

    should i source for a second hand one or just get a brand new one ?

    am i overcharged for it?

    any alternatives out there or cheaper solutions ?

    any help will be greatly appreciated !!
    thanx
