UPDATE down below and on page 2.

I was out of town 260 miles away in my 40th Anniversary Z, and my power steering went out when I was at the parking lot at the time, thank God for that! I opened the hood to check what's going on and found out the power steering reservoir was empty. I was confused about what just happened. So I looked under the car and saw drips of oil dripping in small amounts.

So I went to the auto store in another car to get some power steering in hope so i can add some more and perhaps drive home.
Started filling power steering and after 1.5 qts, sounds like a seal went out, it was a loud popping sound and everything what i put in went on the ground.

So end of story... I had to drive the car with no power steering all the way home for 260 miles. Had no choice. Got home safely, just experienced what 1980s cars had to offer back in the day lol. Im pretty sure my power steering pump is all gone now as well after the drive.

I don't know what happened, what have caused this??? Clueless what went wrong!

So Im planning to take the Z to the dealer and see if it's going to be covered under warranty. I mean the car only has 19K miles on it.

So my question has anyone experienced anything like this??? Will the dealership cover this under warranty? I read the seals go out on the steering racks on some Zs, regardless if it's modded or not. But not sure yet what happened to mine.
