<snip poorly capitalized gibberish>

You need a better mechanic.

I suspect your tie rods got rusted because you allowed the boots to split,
thus admitting water into them.

Rust and dirt will grind away the hydraulic seals as the shafts work in and
out as you drive. If fluid is leaking near the pump, there are other
problems afoot as well.

Repeat: You need a better mechanic.
