Hi Guys
Noticed an oil drip mark on my drive, after Investigation looks like it might be coming from the power steering rack?
Anybody got any ideas or is this a common issue?

To me, it looks like it's dripping off and around the silver thing above the steering rack gaiter. Dripping down on to the black gaiter maybe?
 
Hi, I did think that But the first picture is the passenger side, and the second picture is the driver-side?
 
A steering gaiter for my E350 is only 9 quid. Car is on a ramp. It would be a relatively easy job to clean the boot and check for splits and change if necessary.

Noting the oil on the gaiter is in the middle and not at the ends, either it has a split, or oil is dripping on it.
