Default steering rack seal question

My upper seal on my '87 944 power steering rack is leaking. I couldn't find any exploded diagrams to see if I can buy the seal as a separate item. All the other seals and boots are fine. It's the one for the shaft that the steering wheel linkage attaches to. I have a feeling that my removal of the steering linkage when I did the oil pan gasket may have damaged something in that area since I was using a hammer and chisel to spread the universal joint connector.

Anyone with advice, part numbers or especially an exploded diagram of the rack itself would be appreciated.

I would say if you need to remove the rack from the car to replace that particular seal, i would tell you just re-seal the whole thing, that way you know its been done.

I know you can find the whole seal kits for 60-70ish. That one seal may be 10-12. I would def just do the whole thing....
