Any reason you can't get under there and have a look for yourself? There's a plastic "skid plate" that comes off with 2-3 bolts. Rack and pinion is right above that as I recall, and you should be able to see that it's wet from oil.
I would not know a rack and pinion if it bit me. And, having a few physical issues... I do depend on mechanics to take care of my truck. DH is not what you'd call handy around a vehicle since about 1975.
I'm the one who looks after the vehicle maintenance. That's one of the reasons I like to come here and ask questions, so that when I do go to a dealership I have information to ask intelligent questions there.
It's not that I mind getting dirty... it's that I just don't know what I'm looking for.
