Considered by many one of the worst repairs to DIY, seals are available afaik from all the normal vendors including Pelican. All of them ship worldwide.

I had an old rack to play with and I couldn't even get it apart. Unless the prices of rebuilts have changed it's not worth the effort

First I well find a place to Hide from all the experts >> But that said until you find all the parts lol
this works : Pressure wash the entire rack underneath the car and all over the area so you can see exactly where the leaks is Most Likely it coming right out one end of the rack or another . Pull back the boot so You can Pressure wash inside the boot and right on the the leak area . have the Car Jacked up on a stand on that side .
Use a Oil squirt can and fill it with Automatic Transmission Seal leak Stop . Squirt the Leak Stop fluid right on the Seal area and the Steel Rod that run's into the Seal . you want the fulid to stay on the Seal that's why you have the Car jacked up on that side so the fluid stays on the seal . Unless you have a Big Leak the seal well swell up and stop leaking .
Spray this leak stop on the seal perhaps 3 or 5 times per day over a 3 or 4 day period and most likely the leak well stop .
does it work ? Yes it works I have done this many many times on lots of different cars and does it last ? yes it does in fact . What do you have to lose ? almost nothing .
I did this on a Diesel truck water pump leaking seal and in a week the Leaking seal quit leaking . Its still not leaking and that was 9 years ago I still have the truck .
cost to fix / about $4
I well hide now from all the experts lol
