Sean,
I would think the most likely culprit will be one of the seals on the pinion valve itself.
To replace the seals s not a job to do with out the right tools.
Would seek a second opinion and some to view rack. Worth contacting Pleiades his details can be found on the forum (Useful Links)

Re: cant pin piont power steering leak
Sean,
I tried to do the seals on my other Xantia but t's not the replacing of the seals which is the problem. It is reassembling the Pinion into the rack as it is extremely tight and the slightest nick results in another leak. As previously suggested contact Pleiades ( Martin) does a great job.
Otherwise replace rack with known good un.
