I just bought a 1990 Grand Prix with a 3.1 V6.The previous owner told me that about 2 years ago, ( i don't know why he never looked at it), he was pulling out of a gas station and heard a POP, noticed a big puddle of fluid under the car, and lost his power steering. The only thing he did to try and fix it was put more fluid in it. he didn't have anybody look at it or anything. i don't know anything about power steering or where any lines are or anything. Driving with no power steering sucks so any advice on what might of happened and/or how to fix it would be greatly appreciated, and if i would have to get parts a rough estimate on the cost would also help. Also i need to replace wheel bearings. It a really loud annoying humming that goes away if i turn one way. Am I going to need any specific tools to do the wheel bearings? I've never done them before but was told they're not to bed. Thanks alot for and advice.
Mike
