Power steering pump is leaking, I noticed when it became difficult to turn. I had a mechanic replace the "pressure switch" or something and that managed to slow the leaking by quite a bit. I'm probably going to replace the pump this summer, the leak is so slow at this point that putting fluid in once a month solves the problem temporarily.

First the car died in the middle of driving down the road, so luckily enough we were right down the road from a discount auto parts and they tested the battery and determined the battery was dead. That lasted for bout 3 days, and it died again on the highway! I had to wait in the heat for 3 hours for a tow truck bc the car wouldn't start, Had it towed in the morning. Only to find out my power steering pump had a leak and it caused the alternator to burn out. Lucky for the warranty bc otherwise the bill would of been over $1000.
