I was driving my car today, and the gauges started acting up, then my air conditioning stopped blowing out cold air, my power windows would not go down. Did replace the alternator and new serpentine belt, now the power steering is leaking and making noise.

Help!

You replaced the alternator prior to all this happening? The power steering leak is unrelated, and most commonly a pressure hose that is leaking. You would notice alot of fluid down around the belt drive area where the hose goes down toward the gear. The gauge/power issue might be symtom of ignition switch problems.
