While driving the power steering went out. Serpentine belt is in tact, vehicle runs and everything else is fine. Reservoir is now empty and there is a drip right inside the frame inside the driver side tire either from the hose there or something right above it. What has gone wrong?
Thank you

If there is a fluid leak, then you have to pinpoint the exact source of the leak and repair it, whether it turns out to be a hose, reservoir, rack and pinion or pump.
