I have a rack that was reportedly rebuilt by Dan and/or Dale.<br>
It was expoxied between the tube and cast ends. From the looks of
it is its still slightly seeping...<br>

<p><font face="Arial">There has been a lot of good advise
regarding refilling the rack and ensuring that the amount
added meets the volume stated in the manual. But, short of
removing a boot and tilting the car for a lengthy time there
really is no way of knowing when the fluid is replenished
there isn't residual and the rack may be getting overfilled.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Perhaps another point that could be part of
this discussion is why the rack needs to have fluid added.
Leaking boots are an obvious point but the rack end caps where
they go over the tube are another source. I recall the Shop
Notes... (where are mine???) had a discussion about that.As I
stated in a previous post my rack was gone thru and 20 years
later with no use there is an accumulation of gear oil on the
crossmember. It isn't where you can see it dripping but it
must leak in the smallest amount.?? Has anyone come up with a
good solution for the end caps? </font><br>
