It is a lift so it makes things easy
hmmmm Any way to tell if that high pressure line is due for a replacement?

Welcome!
I'm no help regarding the seal, but happy to help spend your money in other places... before you button things up, I suggest installing a steering rack brace and upgraded bushings:

I have no clue. I saw oil at the FRONT of my car and thought it was the rack. Took it in and once they pulled the pan they saw that the rack was fine (needed new boots though so I went with the above mentioned bushings and support bar). They looked closer and found the burst line. I can tell you that it made a nasty sound when it broke as I was backing into my garage. Perfect place to break down. I love this car.

It's a dust shield. It pops on and off fairly easily. Underneath you will find a tube and a rod. If there is fluid on the inside of the tube on the bottom it is more likely that your seals are done. The steering rack looks as it has been cleaned recently. Maybe even rebuilt. I have recently rebuilt my rack using a kit I ordered online. It wasn't too hard just a lot of seals.
Thanks!

I changed mine out in a one car garage on jack stands. It wasnt that difficult. I had a local guy in OC rebuild it for me for like $300. When you do it, replace the inner tie rod ends with the GT2 spec parts. Makes a huge difference in steering feel.

Thanks, where did you source the tie rod ends? Did you need an alignment after?
