I purchased my Celica about 8 months ago before I got my drivers licence and I have now been driving the car for a month and have noticed a few problems, when purchased the actual owner left the car at a relatives and I bought it off the guys uncle who never told the power steering didn't work. it hasn't changed in the month driving it although its gotten louder. I took it to a shop that quoted me 2000$ for a power steering rack, power steering pump and new tie rod ends. so I put it up on the hoist at school and sure enough the rubber gators around the ps rack are torn and all gunked up. the power steering pump has a slow leak that drains a full tanks of fluid in a couple of days and im not sure where it comes from but ive read online its a high pressure hose that wears out over time (its a common problem). so I am in need of any help I can possible get and any information. I am new to car mechanics so I don know very much, my plan is to try and source parts and bring them to a local mechanic who can put them in. I will post a picture/video of my ps rack/pump situation later
