Power steering problems

[Sboxin]

Also, I see a bit of smoke coming out from the engine compartment. This is from the fluid leak.

A common leak is from the return line connection at the back of the pump.
The leaking fluid runs onto the top of the engine and then onto the exhaust.

The return line has a red plastic fastener that holds the line into the pump and two o-rings which seal the line. If your accident caused the fastener to fail this would cause the leak.

The return line/pump location is under the intake system and difficult to see from the top of the engine. The repair requires the removal of the throttle body.

The return line fastener is part of the fluid reservoir (there are two the main and the overflow). You can see the parts diagram on the Pelican board site or the PCNA tech site.
