Re: low coolant and pwr steering problem, could they be related?

antifreeze/coolant is the only fluid you car has that is "greenish". from where you say it is leaking, it could be a split hose, and it could also be coming out of the weep hole in the bottom of the water pump.

regarding the low coolant level light, did you add the coolant to the resevoir or the radiator? if you added to three inches below the top of the radiator, that may be the problem. as it should be full.

on the power steering, did you check the fluid level? low p/s fluid could be causing your problems. check the belt, make sure it isn't slipping/loose. if everything is fine, the pump is probably bad.
