Broke another part of my 4kq.... UPDATE!!!!!!!!!



Well Here is an update on my problem....
    I checked the fluid thing and there is plenty of fluid.....
    I checked the belt and it is still attatched and it is not muddy....
    I looked at the hoses comming and going from the Power steering pump and
they appear fine...
    I turned on the car and tryed to turn the wheel and it was still hard to
turn,  I did look inside the power steering thing at this time, and it
appeared to me that no fluid was going anywhere, but that is just my guess
and I am not too good at guessing....

    Could I have cut a line some where?  I don't think I would have broken
the steering gear box anywhere because I can still move the wheel (it is
very hard though)
    Do you think I could have burnt out the Power steering pump?

Thanks for all your help!!!!!
