One fine day, i saw oil leak from power steering rack (left side) from inside the boot. that area was wet before (it may be leaking drop by drop for long i suspect), suddenly oil seal leaked and all oil drained.

so i took to mechanic , he advised me to change oil seals. I bought a oil seal kit for lancer for Rs.450/- and changed that oil seal. next day the problem regained..so opened the steering box , and asked for a new steering rack, but it was not available, only whole set is available . So The cause was worn out in dimension of rack. the oil seal was not tight.

mechanic opted an option, to hard chrome the part with actual measurement of oil seal. so i gave it to hard chrome, its a big process ( taking 2 days), am waiting for the result. by the way, they said before decade, mechanics used to do same process for Standard 2000 and peugeot steering boxes, also hard chrome people also said same. hope this would solve my problem. Will update the result tomorrow.
