I then put my car on some ramps and found that the rack-n-pinion boots were damp. I then assume that is where I'm losing PS fluid can anyone tell what I need to do to fix this problem, my repair manual doesn't specify anything about this.

Sounds like you need a new steering rack & pinion. Unfortunately, Magnasteer racks are a bit pricey. Plan on spending between $200-250 plus core deposit (usually ~$100-$150) and twice that if you have a shop repair it.
If you are handy you might be able to just buy the seal/repair kit and rebuild it yourself for about $20-$30.
