Fill it up with fluid look underneath for were the leak is did u loose all the fluid when it happened if you have been running the system with no pas oil ur pump is toast as the shaft snaps but the pulley still turns but no pumping action replace pipe first then if u get no assisted steering ur pump has siezed
