Power steering problem

[Nicholaslo]

Hi guys,
Just brought an s3 8L few weeks ago, the power steering suddenly go down today.
Meanwhile I travelling back home, the dry bearing sound comes out and the power steering reservoir seems like being over-folded with field leaking.
And I keep 40km/hour on my way home, once parked. The reservoir comes with empty and tons of power steering field onto the floor.(possibly just broken once parked, thanks god)
The leakage location was right under the reservoir.

is there any common fault like the rusted hose I was found at the forum.

Common thing on the S3 8L is the “cooler” pipe that looks like this, sometimes rusts and leaks, this happened to me, easy enough to replace.

Lastly, lift up the car and found leakage at the pump(The place next to the Pulley )
