it started with every once in a while now it is everytime i turn in two days. i looked at the power steer pump and it looks like there is a lot of grease down there. so my guess is that the pump went out or the piping came off or something. i cant back out of a parking spot w/o my car clicking and almost if not stalling. i saw that what looks like the pump is really far down, how hard is it to change and what has to be done to get to it? or should i just take it to a mechanic and save all the hassle, whats the price difference b/t me doing it and a mechanic doing it?

check you power steering fluid. if its full, then the ps is fine. the grease you see and the clicking you hear are probably because your axels are shot. jack up the car and take a look under there.
