Couple of Things

First off I was cruising with my little brother since he just got a 90 Poncho Bird and I'm in my 86 Camaro. We decide to gun it from a standstill at a red light to see if he can keep up with me. The take off was great. The car squatted tires spun for a minute and smoked the tires leaving a nice long rubber mark (yeah got a peg leg) . Even after I was done the car was still smoking badly and I lost my power steering. Have no idea why. It looks like my ps pump is cracked but just don't understand why? Any help will be greatly appreciated

:hail:

Sorry for the long post

I would have to take another look at it. When it happened it was 1 am. Tried adding a little ps fluid to see if there was a leak or crack. The little I poured in went out just as fast. Just don't know why it would happen in the first place
