So, its snowing, and I drove all the way into work today. Everything is fine most of the way. At one light I make a left turn, and I heard what sounded like a higher pitched fan or belt or motor noise, but then it stopped.
A little while after that on the highway my sterring feels a little tighter, and I finally get to a light and have no power steering (sterring actually feels a little better while driving without it :rofl: ) I get to the parking garage (set off some alarms because of my exhaust
) and then struggle to get in the spot with no power steering.
I pop the hood, there is a piece of a plastic bag on the upper left most belt/pulley (passenger side in front of the engine) and some more torn bag in my radiator fan. Also looked like there was some snow packed behind my driver side fog surrond (which is where my power steering line relocation is because I have a new FMIC) I guess a lot of snow got in becaus I have M&S Fog surronds. And my power steering fluid is empty.
I just got into the office, so hopefully the snow will melt in the garage thats in the engine bay. I have like half a bottle of fluid in my trunk which wont be enough.
What could have happened? Could it have over heated because of the plastic bag and stuff? Its too dark out because the sun isn't up and I couldn't see in the garage. I'm going to geta few bottles of fluid, fill it up and go home later and try and find a leak or something. Taking any suggestions while I'm at work.
