Default Power Steering on my f250 SD.

Hey everyone. Tonight me and a buddy went sliding in a parking lot on snow and ice. Everything was great until we left the lot and i noticed it was VERY hard to steer the wheel. In became more and more difficult as time went on. By the time I pulled in at home I could BARELY turn the wheel. I figure the jerking on the wheel when sliding around did it. What can I do to fix this or what is wrong? Im out a truck until I get this working cuzz its pretty much undrivable. Please help. Thanks!

Sounds like your power sterring pump is not working properly. Is it leaking any fluid in the front?

Yes I just checked and I dont see droppings of fluid. However, I checked the steering fluid tank that its EMPTY. It wasnt empty at all b4 last night. So is there a leak somewhere? What do I need to do to get this beast back to working??
