Did you check the power steering fluid level? Low fluid would make your steering feel like you describe! You may need a new rack, if it's leaking the seals may be shot!

Check your fluid levels. Like gary said, if you have a leak your seal are probably bad. It would be far cheaper to replace rack now before it gets worse. If it keeps leaking, you will end up burning up your pump, then have to replace that along with the rack.
