steering rack leaking

Any suggestions ? I was wondering if there was any kind of a rebuild kit for it or will I have to replace the whole thing ?

Is it the rack or the fittings that are attached to it? If the fluid is leaking out of the boots and not running over them from somewhere else, you will have to change the rack. You will not be able to rebuild it yourself. Get a rebuilt unit if it needs one. A good quality one (not a Chinese rebuilt part). They are usually a lot less expensive than a new rack. Don't buy another used one unless you are prepared to go through the whole process again in a year or two.
