power steering
um.....my power steering thingy was making a weird noise yesterday and parts of today, then i notice the sound went away. i also notice that steering was like there was no power steering at all, so i popped the hood only to find the fluid all over the place. think there was a leak or a bad pump or what? any ideas?

Well, fill up your resovoir with something but don't turn your car on. If it leaks, your resovoir is cracked. If not, it's your pump. That's the lazy man's way of doing it. Or, you could take it apart and find out.
