2003 Ford Focus leaking power steering fluid?

Have a Ford Focus that is leaking power steering fluid. The "boot" on the rack is torn, was wondering if this is the cause of the leak or is the boot only a dust cover.. Is there a seal inside that is causing the leak?

    you may need to replay the power stereing hose. the boot is a separate problem that should be addressed as well. the boot prevent dust and debree from entering the CV joint housing.

    Use your warranty and tell the ford dealer to do whatever it takes to fix it.
