Name this leak..
I have i pretty good amount of oil or something that looks alot like oit on the ground. I looked were it was coming from it look like a rubber thing by where my steering column is going into the engine bay. What is that?? Is it suppose to be sealed because it looks like someone tried to zip tie it together and the zip tie is just dangling there....

Intermediate Shaft Dust Boot. It'* not coming from there.
Maybe tranny fluid from the case cover on that side? Mine had a bolt missing there when I got it, Took about three days to lose a quart....
Maybe rear valve cover?
Try getting a mirror in there.

Re: Leak
Well, just today my shop diagnosed what I thought was a transmission fluid leak as power steering fluid coming from one of the rubber boots around the axle shaft. Seems it is leaking around the axel. Doesn't make sense to me but that is what they said. Said I needed a new rack and pinion as putting in a new seal would be just about as costly for labor and wouldn't last very long before leaking aqain due to flex. Their estimate to replace the rack and pinion parts and labor and four wheel alignment was $800.00. Gads! Hope yours isn't that! but it is something to look into.
