Power steering fluid leaks and drips on to the exhaust which produces an UNGODLY ODOR. Like I swear to you an animal (probably a skunk) crawled up in there and decided to grill itself on my engine. If the smell isn't bad enough, once the engine warms up and the deathly smell starts to fill the car, the steering fluid decides to boil, evaporate and produce a lot of SMOKE. Scared the crap out of me and I thought my engine was overheating but nope. Just my power steering fluid leaking, NO BIGGIE.
