[yellow182jon]

Coming home last night heading into kenilworth my home town and I went around a bend and then no noise just steering went solid all the dials came up flickered went of then had the steering back to normal lots of smoke as I looked in my mirror lasted about 5-6secs at most then nothing car still was ticking over as sweet as always but I had to go around the last roundabout before my home and when you turn into corners you get a strange whining noise.
Got home slowly looked under the car with a light no dripping but a awlful smell can't realy describe smell to be honest, started the engine opened the bonnet everything look's fine sounds ok on tick over, just going to have another look this morning hope I don't notice anything.

What sould I be looking for !!!! I mean what could of caused this to happen!!

I 've had a look today and noticed the steering pump with fluid all over the top of the pump and were it meets the aux belt.
