Loss of power steering and resovoir bubbling

Driving home this evening I noticed the steering to get really stiff, I pulled into a parking lot and I could barely turn into the parking spot. I popped the hood and noticed the power steering fluid was leaking and just below the low level line. After about 30 minutes I started the car and turned the steering wheel to notice it was bubbling in the resovoir. I have no idea where to start. Any help will be appreciated.

the steering gets hard when no power steering, or in your case the fliud leaked out. as for the bubbleing, if its bubbleing cause its getting hot or as i suspect if the fluid is low, the pump spins, the impeller blade is not fully submerged in fluid cause it leaked out (find out why it leaked out), it draws air into the fluid creating bubbles.

id look for leaks....check where the metal hard lines meet the rubber flexible lines. i had a wicked leak there which drained mine to the level of yours as well. if buying new lines use honda parts they are cheaper and bolt right up. you should notice a massive leak in your garage tho if that much fluid leaked out...or at least some residual fluid on parts underneath
