Like Matthew (april2009) I have the same car-renault/scenic/salon/cc1569- I have the same problem,just few weeks just after the quarantine period!-2.5yrs ago. Still leaking – now I have 103577km…. My daughter was drvg that car since the problem starts. From then up today I’m drvg this, I know is dangerous.. etc.the cost to repair was just below 1000eur to the official garage.NOW I have a problem with the steering(!)
I have leakage (?) of the power steering fluid, from the right rubber boot. I change the boot happily –genuine part for 45eur-. Happiness for a week- I lost the fluid again….
“Cut a long story short”, I did the same, for three times. So easy to do that, less than 1.5hr incld 2 coffees! But is so disappoint if it happens for so many times….. I decide to go to the ofcl garage… they estimate it for just below 2000eur. Inclusive labour and a) new complete steering ruck unit-must be changed,-they say- and b)new servo….
My question 1a. can I fix easily(?) the new ruck? 1b) the steering ruck unit,is it repairable? Can I do so? 3)For the servo I got the answer given to Matthew! (Matthew does it works???) 4) What NEXT?? Any body knows or suggests ???
Times are difficult in many wise,,,,,
If u have any suggestions for the above, are wellcame…. With all my respect 2u + ur time……..koullis loizos, cy.

dont know if these rack seals are replaceable but you could try a scrappy for a servo and a rack,if they are available you could save a fortune,personally if i got a bill for 2000 euros for a rack etc I would scrap the car but good luck anyway.
