1) Get under the car and check where its coming from
2) Check the power steering fluid level
3) Do you mean sitting still and hitting the brake?

from the looks of it, i don't think you know a whole bunch about cars.. lol, but just so you know keep an eye on the oil level until you fix it cause if it empties you're f-ed

if it the bottom of the oil pan, hit it up with some degreaser and let it sit, see were it drips, if it the bottom of the oil pan or on a flat surface, drain oil, get some JBWeld and apply mix, thats what i did when i curbed my car, for the ball joints what kind of noise, if the ball joints are gone there should be noticable movement in the streeing, also which ball joint, in the tie rod, the quadra link control arms. thats really the only things that got a ball joint on them, if not sure, lift up the side and jiggle the wheels and see if theres any play. lastly what the dilema with the steering, was there fluid or not.
