My girlfriends 95 Civic is leaking power steering from a torn rack n pinion boot. Both(drivers and passenger) of the boots are torn, but only the passengers side is leaking fluid from the inside of the boot.. Should I just replace the boots?

most likely should replace whatever O-ring or gasket that it's leaking from. The boot just keeps dirt from getting into the moving parts and seizing them up.

I dont know. Get underneath the car and see what it looks like.I'm just saying that you might have to replace more then the boot.
