Hi all,
I was helping someone learn how to drive today and I guess they turned the wheel to lock and held it there for too long. Now when I turn the wheel, the wheel shakes (not the car), there is a noticeable whining and surging noise only when steering, and there is also power steering fluid strewn all over the engine bay. I am assuming this is a failed pump. Would I be correct or could it be something else? Either way I'm worried and need to get it fixed asap!
