I was on the freeway going approx. 60 mph when I heard a noise that sounded like something grinding and suddenly had a decrease in speed and the van died and left me with no power steering. I am unable to get it started but I have battery power. What could the problem be? I also noticed that I had absolutly no motor oil. Please help.
