Yesterday, I noticed my oil levels dropping fast and white smoke coming off under/behind engine. There is also a large pool of oil under the passenger side of the car. The oil pan seems fine. Here are some pictures I took.
  edit: I think something broke off. more info, I barely lose any oil when parked but massive amounts after driving. This post has been edited by Rofomet: Apr 19, 2009 - 7:06 PM |

That piece of the ps pump that is broken is just for the vacuum assist. Manny has it capped off in that pic because it isn't completely necessary for daily driving, I can't remember the reason he mentioned it was there for. But that's probably why you notice no difference in the way the steering feels nor a loss in ps fluid.
As for your oil issue, you should wash all the oil off and recheck it again to get a better idea of where its coming from. If you can't really do that, the general idea in finding an oil leak is to follow the oil to the highest point and start there.
