My steering wheel is very sticky, i have used steering fluid which worked temporarily but some spilled out from the bottom. i have been told it is the rick and pinon but i was wondering if there was another solution.

Only an inspection of the steering system and front suspension can tell you for sure. Loosing fluid is not a good sign. The rack may need replacing, or a hose, or the pump. Possibly all of the above. There might be something binding making the problem worse.  
Find an independent shop to check it for you, avoid chain stores such as Pep Boys.
