i believe its the rack what can i do? do i need new hoses ?

If the rack itself is leaking, it may need to be replaced or resealed. If the connections or hoses are leaking, they can be replaced without much trouble with common hand tools. Where in particular are you noticing the leak? It is pretty common for the rack seals to leak in the inner tie-rod area. Most of the time it is best to install a rebuilt rack instead of trying to fix the old one.
