Any thoughts?

classic case of the power steering fluid burn out...

step 1. fluid was low
step 2. you decided to do donuts
step 3. PSF overload/ too much pressure/ very abnormally high temperature in the system.
step 4. Charred remains of PSF left in tank with little to no fluid swishing around.

remedy: PSF flush and refill...($40 at oil change guy)

then go back out there and have fun...
