Alright, I have a few questions about what I should do with my car:

The first -- The power steering works for the first while when I start up the car, but after it gets heated up, it stops working when the car is stopped. I put more fluid in, but that doesn't help. I'm alright living with the problem. Will it keep getting worse?

The second -- I think that the car is leaking coolant from the pump (it's the part to the left of the engine with all of the belts when I open up the hood. Will this keep getting worse as I will be moving in a few months and it will be much cheaper for me to fix it then.

The third -- This only happened once. When we were stopped today, before we got going, if we put our foot on the break, it would click. After we got going, it didn't do it anymore nor after we got going again.

I hope my car isn't about to break down. Tell me what you think.
