  Don't drive this until a shop can take a look at the drive belt because it sounds to me that the drive belt has broken and fell off and it drives the power steering and the water pump thats probably why its overheating. you can find a shop here www.repairpal.com/directory

• Replaced power steering pressure hose. And now all fluid coming out.
  Look like pump port, where pressure hose bolted, loose(moving). So oil don't go inside pump, but just dripping down. Does it mean pump broken? Any suggestions. Thanks a lot.
