Red fluid is leaking out of my car, onto my garage floor. Also, the boyfriend says that the "rack and pinions" are wet from something leaking on them (he won't touch the engine, he has a miata and doesn't like domestics). When i turn on my car, and its in park, no noise besides the normal engine, when i turn the wheel, i hear a loud whine, and when i put it in drive and the car moves, i hear the whine constantly but even more so when i turn the wheel. i was told my power steering fluid could be low, on top of needing a new belt, what belt they are talking about, idk. i've never owned a domestic car, and i'm female. i know honda civics like the back of my hand, but i am totally lost when it comes to a camaro. i've had this car for 3 days, and i would really like some help so i don't lose faith in this car...help please?

Whoa, no need to be going and buying a new power steering pump just yet. Could just be cracked, crinked or damaged hoses or just a loose hose. Diagnose the leak 100% and go from there. My leak was just a bent/cracked aluminum line. New hose fixed that.

the reason i suggested replacing the pump is cuz if it has run dry for a little while and whining really bad it probably needs to be, but then again i've had 'em whine and still be ok after putting more fluid in.
