Because alot of the time the power steering leaks are not actually the rack.
As in Steph's case it was one of the hard metal lines that was actually leaking.
So if the car is running then there is pressure, (usually) and if the wheel is being turned then the pressurized fluid is being pumped through the rack.
So, if it is peeing out then, (a constant unstopping stream)
then, you probably need a rack rebuild, or rack.
