Power Steering

Last night after work, while the ground was wet, i decided to be an idiot and spin some tires and do some donuts...well after the first one, it seemed that something had gone wrong with the power steering, so i parked it and popped the hood. It sounded as if something was leaking, cause i could hear a slight hiss coming from around the power steering box.
I checked it out this morning, the serpentine belt looks fine, i see no visable leaks, and the power steering fluid is really low. I added fluid to the tank, but it seems to have had no effect...any clue what the problem could be...?
The help will be greatly appreciated

Sounds like you cracked the power steering hoses. Have a mechanic look at 'em.

If you could hear a hiss, you probably ruptured the pressure hose. It runs around $20 at a parts store.
