When you say "squirts out" do you mean at the connection point for the high-pressure hose, or out the ends of the rack?

if the seal is bad it will come out right where the steering rod comes out of the rack under/behind the bellows, so when you turn the wheel out fluid comes out
the bellows does not hold any pressure it just helps keep dust & dirt out

In my case, I had a significant leak at the drivers side steering rack bellows because one of the internal seals in the rack was failing. I also had a smaller seep where the pressure line entered the rack.

You should notice a big difference now when filling with fuel.

Did your purge valve kit come with instructions and hoses to relocate the purge valve to up by the filler neck from down by the frame?
The kit I purchased when I changed out the purge valve on my sister's 2008 Silverado did.
Purge valve was stuck closed and it would take fuel at a trickle.

FWIW you're thinking of the VENT valve. The purge valve is in the engine compartment.

thought that's where they were always supposed to be? when I changed mine it was dangling down by the frame because the zip tie that was holding up on the fill tube had broke, when I did any of my gmt800's they were attached to the fill tube.
that's why I tell people to just disconnect the fill tube and pull it down to change it out, then shove it back up there and re-attach it. Otherwise your going to be struggling to do it in a crammed up spot, disconecting the fill tube is super easy

Hers was down on the frame held on by a nice stamped, metal bracket.
Maybe it is just certain models that have that vent down on the frame or maybe GM decided having it mounted low was an issue so they moved it up as a running change during production?

I used to restore headlights when I had my business. I had 2 4oz bottles that I'd mix together--it was the UV protector. That stuff was amazing--but at $45 a bottle--expensive AF.

I tried cleaning ( with the good stuff)... a Honda Civic ...stock headlights had a factory film. Couldn't polish the plastic.
