Is this power steering? You said you had a leak, that's why I'm thinking 
power steering.

I don't have much experience with power steering, but if I had a torn boot 
I'd try to clean out as much of the dirt/ grime that was stuck in the 
grease, before I put the new boot on. New grease, of course. Id also look 
into flushing the power steering fluid out and refilling with quality stuff.

Seems to me that the damage is done by the grime that gets in there when the 
boot is torn, so every step should be taken to make sure that it is all 
clean when you are done. Theoretically no further damage would be done.
