Got my first 4th Gen today! Couple questions

Snagged a '07 V8 Sport today, 218k on the clock. I live in the rust belt and this truck has lived its entire life in Texas except for a year in Oklahoma so blessedly no rust!! Truck had some nice maintenance covered about 20k ago..

Bilstein 4600 stut and springs,
New Trd Pro 17" rims wrapped in Geolander AT's
Timing belt and water pump
Front axles & wheel bearings
Rear U Joints
Tie rod ends
Diff, Transfer Case, Transmission fluids done
New battery
Brakes and rotors
New headlight housing with upgraded LEDs

She's super solid but not without a few issues..

Driver side leaky steering rack, doesn't seem terrible but the boot has broken down a bit. Can these be rebuilt or am I looking at putting a new rack in?

Lower oil pan is seemingly leaky but haven't fully diagnosed it. Wiped clean today but need to get back under there. Is this a common problem on a higher mileage V8 or should I be looking elsewhere for the culprit?

Sunroof seal isnt great, will probably just seal it shut since it looks like the only way to get the seal is with new glass. Any other options I'm overlooking?

Lastly I'm like 99% sure the seats are aftermarket covers. I have a small wear spot in the driver's bolster. Can anyone help me ID these?

Plan is to daily her and building out my 3rd gen as a trail/camp rig
