Exactly you need to replace the rack.
if you feel adventurous and lucky, try to refurbish it yourself. but so far i have never seen a successful refurbished rack job. the problem is the rack piston ( the rod like part that pushes the tie rods left-right) gets worn with time, even with new seals it will still leak either instantly or in a very short time. unless you have the rack sent to a machine shop to fill it to it's original diameter, but $$$$$$, might as well shop for a used rack and take the time to choose one that looks good.
