What is your question?
Had work done to Saturn by "accredited garage" just suspension work, oil change , brakes minor repairs. Car did well, drove 100 to 130 miles stopped for gas , started car and no power steering. Checked under hood and pressed cap behind pump was laying in engine bay, power steering fluid and oil everywhere. Oil only down 1/4 quart steering fluid below add Mark. Internals on camshaft end mostly all there missing fins found a few laying around . Not sure how all transpired only reason I could come up with was oil overcooked and to much pressure unless recall by Saturn. Any help would be appreciated
