Need advice, cold weather blew seal on rack

[PackratF350]

Seal on passenger side leaks so bad the oil drained from the reservoir…. I put in new hose and pump (thought that was the problem). All the oil leaked out on passenger side of rack. Does anyone know if this can be repaired while still in the vehicle?

What year is your KJ?
Steering rack will need to be replaced by the sounds of it.
Browse "Rock Auto" has a few rack & pinions brands to choose from for KJ.
I would also consider polyurethane rack bushings.
Don't have the Poly bushings link at the moment.
