Default Power steering rack and pinion leak

Hello guys

I have got this power steering rack and pinion leak problems ever since I bought my car. The rack and pinion came with the Speedtech front clip kit that was installed by the previous owner and power steering leak issues started after driving the car for only 150 miles.

I have circled the areas where power steering fluid leak is taking place.







The high pressure hose as seen in the above photo is leaking as well plus the areas circled above. I cleaned the area circled in the 3rd photo, and I did not observe any leak afterwards

I am really surprised how power steering rack and pinion failed after 150 miles of driving.

Does this mean it is the time for a new power steering rack and pinion?

Your input guys will be appreciated
