Re: I lost power steering then my car made a popping...
This sounds to me like your timing belt broke. If it is an interference-fit engine, the valve train was most likely damaged. I wish I had better news for you! :(
Is this a 4 cylinder or is it a V6? The 4 cylinders weren't interference fits engines. V6 models did use interference fit engines. If your timing belt broke, and you have a V6, it's possible that your car could have sustained severe valve damage.Is this a 4 cylinder or is it a V6?

is the smoke coming from under the car or out the exaust pipe?
under the car ! you have an oil leak and its probably landing on your exhaust pipe which by the way can ignite and go on fire if the pipe gets too hot. if its out the exaust ! computer or air intact problems. worst case: rings are bad and oil is mixing with the gas in the piston chamber. Hope this helps a little good luck and God Bless
Are you saying you have smoke coming out of the tail pipe ? Or is something dripping onto the exhaust pipe and burning ? If the smoke is coming out of the tail pipe, is it blue, white, or black ?
Dealer, but did you check the Power steering fluid level??or any leaks. There are two hose that connect to the gear box from the power steering pump. if the pump is low on fluid you lose your power steering, if the hose has a leak or it blew and lost the power steering fluid then you lost your power steering again.
Check the fluid level to the power steering pump and any leaks or broken hose to the gear box.
Keep me posted, be glad to help and good luck.
leaking power steering pump can be oil seal.or the gasket, maybe loose bolts or pipes.
steering is tight because of leaking on the sytem also the noises is from the pump.
