Default No Power Steering
Today, I got the car started and the EPS light came on. No power steering when I tried to back it out of the garage. I was late for work, so I couldn't check if there was enough fluid for the power steering and took another car. Anyone here have had this problem? Is it bad? Thanks.

Just turn off the car and restast it. Most likely it will be fine. Has happened twice to me in 3 years.

Err... You know, I've never checked, but since S2K's are Electric power steering, do we even have power-steering fluid!?? I didn't think we did, but what do I know.

Are they also close to the muffler bearing?

No. It's closer to where the johnson rod meets the bearing balls.
