my power steering on my 99 z24

ok today im guilty of trying to drift my FWD cavy....yea i know im dumb for it lol sorry. on the drive home the steering was fine. a few miles down the road later i pull into my friends gate and i hear a grown while turning(aaaawww @!#$) was my thoughts. when i parked it i saw fluid under the car coming from the left driver side. i looked in the power steering tank and it was drained. i put somemore in the had stop leak added to it and it stopped for a few minutes. after this i parked the car and took my friends. came back drove it to the gate and the groans come back. when i finally get to my house i see leaking from the driver side and the passenger side. i kept the car running and i looked in the power steering fluid tank and it look like it was gargling and the fluid was low and foamy. so i added more fluid plus a separate type of stop leak. i turned her off and put her to sleep for the night. tomorrow im taking her to the shop. anybody know what i broke or busted b4 i take it to the shop and an estimate of the cost.?????

just b y telling us that fluid is leaking doesnt indicate anything. more than likely its a busted line though

probably a high or low power steering hose... easy fix if you know where they are located. they are the two lines that go from the pump to the rack.

come to find out it was just a loose line that needed to be tighten. jacked the car up and stuck my hand through a very small hole and tighten the lines. booya fixed. no more drifting.......................................................................for now
