Default Steering rack overhaul

The car has developed an incontinent problem where by it can’t hold onto its power steering fluid, and quite suddenly too, there hasn’t been a warning trail leading up to it dumping fluid, within the space of a mile it had emptied its reservoir.
A quick investigation has pinpointed the leak to the drivers side gator so I suspect the seals let go. My question is can seal kits be obtained anywhere? A quick search on google doesn’t bring anything up. It would’ve nice to have a kit ready to go without having to source seals once removed.

As a side note, how are the slave cylinders holding up? While I’m wrestling with the subframe I’m very tempted to do the clutch for piece of mind but if they’re still prone to failure I may as well hang onto whatever’s fitted.
