Default 951 Steering rack seal replacement

Drivers side of steering rack developed leak where tie rod arm exits rack. Is this seal replaceable without removing or swapping out entire rack? Would pouring a can of "wally-Mart" stop leak be my first move?

i'd keep that junk out of my steering system.

i don't think that seal can be replaced on the car, but i guess if you get creative enough...

I resealed my son's rack and it has been two yrs without a drop one. I think I got the kit from Rennbay and it took about 2 hrs to complete the reseal once the rack is out of the car. Not too bad, you just have to keep everything clean...
