Icon2 My DD is broken! Please Help!

Alright so the other day i was riding down the interstate and my transmission mount broke. While i was stranded on the side of the road in 90 degree weather, power steering fluid was pouring all over the road. My engine was sitting sideways and it snapped the passenger side CV shaft. I just put a new mount and new CV shaft today as well as a wire tuck. Now when i start my car the power steering fluid is profusely bubbling and overflowing from the reservoir & there is also a squeaking noise that seems to be coming either from the exhaust cam or P/S pump. Hard to tell tho. I'm thinking that when the engine fell it put stress on the pump and maybe messed up the pump. What do Y'all think?

BTW engine didn't hit the ground...rather resting about 1 1/2 inches from the ground.

-Chris

possible pinhole size hole in the high pressure line causing it to bubble like that

9/10 times you hear a squeaking it seems to be associated with a power steering belt. Seeing as how you have both squeaking and erratic behavior from your PS fluid...I'd go with that. They don't go bad often so it should be something you could get used without a problem. I'm not sure how much they are new.
