Toyota: 91 Camry LE: Can I repair leaking rack and pinion assembly??

I have a 91 Camry LE with 180k miles on it. I noticed recently that
it was leaking oil. To investigate, I crawled under the car today
and found leaking from the area of the passenger side boot of the rack
and pinion steering assembly. With 180 k miles on it, I am not
surprised that the assembly might have a seal leak. My question
is.... Can I fix the seal on this thing or should I buy a rebuilt unit
from my auto supply store? I would appreciate thoughts about this.

I recently replaced a rack on a Camry of this vintage. My boss
provided me with a rebuilt unit. He said that too many of them come
back when he tries to fix them. I remember it was quite a difficult
job, even with a hoist and a large selection of high quality tools.
