I noticed oil leak in the power steering gearbox (not sure if I am right; pls refer the images below - the part where the focus is on, I hope is the PS gearbox).
Leaking gearbox or pinon boot ?

Wanted to check whether PS gear / pinion leaks are common in 2001 Corollas.
How much will a Dealer charge for this repair ? Are there recon gearbox/rack n pinions options available ?
Are if it is only a seal in the gear, can that done by me (DIY) ? [ Guess it might involve many special tools].
Need to admit that I was feeling the steering hard for the last 3-4 months. Found the leak today.
Could a weak PS gearbox / pinion also impact the driver side front tire ? I see outerwear only in this side.
Please let me know your thoughts.2001 Corolla - 130400 miles
Note - I am not able to upload images in the post. Can some one guide me ?
