Thanks Xist,
I should have clarified in my post, the leak is coming from the steering rack rubber boot. It appears that nothing should be damaged by the leak, but I appreciate the heads-up. I didn't really consider how much damage the fluid itself could cause.

A power steering leak ruined the rack and pinion and alternator belt in my Prelude, and apparently the alternator died when the belt snapped.
An oil leak in the Accord ruined the distributor, starter, spark plugs, wires, and caused misfires.
An oil leak in this Camry ruined a hose and a seal.
Unless a leak is on the bottom and will only ruin the ground it will probably cause other components to fail.
