The power steering pressure line blew out of the pump as we backed out of the garage. The pump quickly emptied its oil supply onto the serpentine belt, engine bay & the driveway. It appears as if the retaining O-ring was sheared in half as the male fitting blew out of the retaining nut that attaches it to the pump. I have digital close-up pictures of the failed part if desired (E-mail). There is no excuse for this totally disabling failure in a 2 yr old car!!
