So I’ve been dealing with a power steering leak for about a year now. In the last year, I’ve replaced the power steering pump, the reservoir and the two return hoses at the front of the engine that go directly from the pump or reservoir, it still continues to leak. I finally jacked up the car the other day and removed the tires, there’s spillage everywhere but my fear is that it’s from the steering rack, thoughts?

Yep, the best thing to see if the rack is leaking is to pull the dust bellows back to see if fluid is present, if so this means the rack-ram seals are leaking due to the housing being worn out and you will need a replacement to fix the leak issue. Thanks for the image and video. If you need help replacing he rack let me know so I can give instructions. Ken
