Carl,
The stuck was grounded on Tank and axel, pulled off backwards so nowhere near the bits up front that are covered by the metal body armour I have fitted.
The leak has just started and the Laning was 2 weeks ago, (just slow with the pics
). When laning the missus was away so was using her parking spot and no leaks on that side of the drive, now its stating to show up on "my" side of the drive, and the leak is comming from the (techincal bit comming here 
) bit that moves when the steering wheel is rocked 
.
Just wondering if its possible a seal and can be fixed with the Power steering sealant stuff, or whether I am looking a a few hundred for a new rack

I would try the sealant additive first and quick, it might work if the seal isnt to far gone.
