This morning, my car wouldn't start so a friend of mine and I tried to push start it, with no luck. We got around a corner in my neighborhood and fortunately found someone who could jump it. Afterwards, as soon as I reverse, I notice there is a puddle of orange-ish fluid on the ground and my steering is SUPER tight. I need help figuring out exactly what is going on, because I know I shouldn't be driving it in it's current state.

You need to identify the source of the leak

Clean everything in your driveway. Use Gunk, water soluble, or the like and get the Power Steering Fluid gone. Then:

  • Allow everything to dry out.

  • Validate any leaks...mind you, you have not started the engine since you cleaned EVERYTHING that could be consider oil out of the engine bay.

  • Now, start it and run. You have talcum powder. If you can't identify the leak you are throwing talcum powder around. You are underneath the vehicle looking up. You have a very bright light, even in the day, and are searching for a leak.

  • You will identify it and then ask another question about how to resolve it.

the first step is identifying what part the liquid is shooting out of
