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.

As far as I am aware the original Rack seal kit was TRW AS14132
Which seems to check out with a quick search of ebay

Worth pricing and seeing if available ,
If you decide to go the reconditioned route just be aware, I have come across steering racks that have been rebuilt wrongly , having the pinion shaft (flat) not in the correct orientation to the centre of the rack meaning the steering wheel not centred on refitting. It will also affect the indicators cancelling . Just be aware to check this against your old rack with the rack centred or if overhauling double check the position of the pinion flat with the rack centred before stripping down
