Did he fail it because the rack is leaking or because it is worn and loose? If it's because it's leaking just degrease it and take it back telling him you fixed the leak. If it gets oil on it too quick for that you will need to find the leak it may be the low pressure return hose where it connects to the rack, it is a common point for these to leak. If the actual rack is leaking then you will need to replace the seals in it or get another rack.
