Leak and no AC

[quote:d5acb7faca="tkw"]I have a 2000 Dodge Durango Sport 2WD V8 with 156K. I leaks power steering fluid but the steering wheel is never hard to turn. You just hear a whining type noise when you make turns. At the time it started leaking, the AC starting blowing warmer and warmer air. Is the freon and power steering leaking from the same place? Is there a connection there? What could this problem be?

Thanks[/quote:d5acb7faca]

There's no connections 2-different problems AC probably ran out of freon or its leaking. do you hear the compressor engaging when you turn it On.
