turning 38's with no power steering!

power steering went completely out in a matter of minutes tonight! what is going on? i noticed a little bit of leaking when i parked it, but nothing really bad. turning my tires with no power steering is not an easy task at low speeds! what do you guys think?

i always get atleast 1 smart ass on my posts.. so yeah, i see alot of fluid leaked down my drivers side suspension. PS pump is not leaking. so i figure a hose or something is loose. gonna go pick up some fluid from wal mart and see if i can find the leak.

Have a close look at the rack for leaks at the boots. A leaking seal will allow fluid build up in the boot ant it will leak at the clamp.
