Re: power steering and brake problem
Sounds like the hydroboost unit has failed. This unit is used to generate the brake boost, like a vacuum booster on other cars. It is ran by the power steering fluid. It could also be a failed pump, but given the sudden nature of the failure....
Can you see where the leak is at??

My powersteering pump quit working while in the shop. What happened in this case was the pump shaft broke. It cost me about $350 if I remember correctly.
