Power Steering failure on holiday...heeellppp

So I had a 1069 mile drive and she didnt miss a beat...all the way through France and into Spain.
I pull up on the campsite, got tintent into place and suddenly no power steering. She dumped all the fluid whilst static. I had been lock to lock getting on this pitch but it never once felt stiff.

Not driven it since. I have euro cover so no probs there but wonder if its easy to access the hoses for a quick inspection.

Cheers folks Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

Find the reservoir check hoses are attached. Follow the hoses down and see where you can see wetness/fluid. No obvious leak will mean it is at the rack or pump, may be hose come off rack or pump. Unlikely to be pump seals but may be rack seals if held on full lock?
Best of luck and enjoy the holiday.

n1cktdv8, the reservoir you can pull up and out so to make inspection easier, it just slides in and out the holder.

good luck

with all that lock to lock i'd punt for a hose coming off hence the large fluid loss.. ... - .- -.
