Default Steering rack leaking - fixable or not ?

Hello all

Went to the car today for first time in a week as been away,anyway moved it out of the garage and was greeted by a very bad sight, Power steering fluid on the floor as wide as the rack itself

Anyway got it up into the air, cleaned it all down where it had flicked up onto the block etc and noticed that one of the 4 pipes that goes into the rack as you look at it from the front of the car was loose in where it goes into the rack. Its the pipe that connects to the bottom of the power steering pump itself.

Can this pipe/fixing be replaced or is it a new rack job??? i cant quite see how the pipes fix into the rack, whether they are push fit, or rubber seal or what.

Any help and advice as always most appreciated.

Thanks
Mart
