Fluid in Tie Rod Boot

Fluid in Tie Rod Boot
I'm replacing an inner tie rod on the left side of my 2005 Sierra SLE crew 2WD 5.3L with rack & pinion steering. When I removed the inner tie rod boot, steering fluid came out, not very much maybe half a shot glass. Is this a problem or is a small amount acceptable?

The seal is leaking from the high pressure end of the rack, sounds like you don't have much to worry about right now, I had a Nissan that leaked a similar amount for the 8 years I owned it, it never got any worse, I just topped up the P/* reservoir whenever it needed some.
