My fiance swerved into a tree and did minor damage to front passenger side door. Right after my power steering went out and now is leaking from under the front right side.

check the rack it may have been damaged as well as the sub-frame. check for a broken line or at the boot. see picture for areas to check. if fluid still in reservoir then it may be something else.
