+1 I wouldn't drive it until you put it up on jacks and find that leak. Tranny's are expensive.

When you say your leak is at a rubber boot are you talking about the steering rack? pics would help. Is the leak more in the front or middle of the car?

+1 probably power steering rack (if it is toward the front). seals on your rack are probably gone. I guess it could also be a hose even though they are on the driver side but I guess the fluid could run down to the pass. side via the rack of one of the lines.

How can we answer that question? We don't even know what's broken. Take some pics or something, please.
