    Good read here. Good luck. Post follow on questions. Sorry to hear of your bad misfortune.

    "I asked the mechanic if it was ok to drive with the damaged pump. (i needed to make sure I wasnt going to damage anything else.) I was told, all would be fine. So, now I had some time, and some choices. I ended up looking for parts online. OEM and comparable brands were $350+ for just the pump. I then went to carparts.com (linked through the site, of course) and found a no-name, brand new, one year warranty for $106. The reservoir, also no name but brand new, was $13.50. Now we were in business! (as a side note here, i almost always buy OEM, or better, replacement parts. However, this part is not a crucial part (like a water pump). If this part fails, it will not leave me stranded on the side of the road. I have chosen to go cheap and see how long it lasts. OEM lasted 140,000 miles.
    Here they are..."

    Same thing happened to me about 6 months ago. While the car is on have someone turn the wheel while you have the reservoir cap off and look into it to see if there is any kind of movement of the fluid in the reservoir. If you see nothing its a good bet it failed. Could be a PS line, but if your not seeing any leaking then i would say its your pump itself. Get it checked out though 100%

    i got my pump from carparts.com for $106 which is a steal compared to most places.

    There is a link on the Affiliate Page http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...s-at-ZHP-Mafia

    I replaced it myself and it isn't too hard to do.

    Good Luck!
