There is an inner tie rod that connects to the steering rack on one end
and
to the outer tie rod on its other end; There is an outer tie rod that
connects between the inner tie rod and the wheel hub. Same things on the
other side of the car.  The end of the inner tie rod is under that (torn)
boot. There should not be anything wet coming out of that boot.  If there
is, then you also have bad seals in the steering rack.
