I have a 2001 civic lx with 190K miles. I got it used and put on very little miles. no more than a few hundred miles. i'll drive it maybe 2 times a week. Last week I was driving it to run some errands and got to the store, and all of sudden, the power steering stopped working.

i was able to still steer it and parked. And after I got done with my errands, I came out worried sick, and started the car, and the power steering was working fine again.

So I got some sealer and steering fluid to put it in, but I've noticed that is was full already. (wasted 8 bucks)

Does anyone know what's going on here? Should I be worried about this? What should I do if I'm making a turn at pretty good speed and the steering goes out again?

Any help is appreciated.
