I just purchase from GM a boot to prevent the steering fluid from flowing out from the steering shaft...but it still flow from the shaft onto the ground and the steering wheel make a noise and hard to turn... what can I do beside go to mechanic and get taken for all my money.

the boot you purchased is a dust boot, not a fluid boot. if fluid is present in the boot, then the steering rack is no good and must be replaced.
