Steering problem
2000 Jeep Cherokee V8 Four Wheel Drive 114 miles

i was driving my car home when i noticed that it became harder for me to turn the steering wheel. the next day, i noticed that it would not even turn. so, i went and bought steering fluid which was low and filled it. it turned for a light while but became hard to do so later. i also notice some leak, but i'm not sure where it's coming from. what is wrong with it and what do i need to do?

First we need to determine where the leak is coming from. Also, was the power steering pump making a lot of noise when this happened?

Try to clean off the areas that are covered in PS fluid so you can determine where the leak is coming from.

Let me know what you find.
