could be steering pump problem
is the fluid black or red ?
can you turn the wheel at all (while moving) or is it locked up ?
if its the rack, most likely the rubber seals leaked and theres no fluid at all, if its the pump, its either the belt, or its seized...the rack is unlikely at fault here (seals..yes, maybe the seals, but not the gears inside the rack, or the rack itself..unless you drove over a steel spike thats embedded through it)... _________________
