Cooling/Steering/heating issue...
Yesterday, steam started pooring out from the hood, grille, and wheel wells. The power steering started whining at the same time and now the heat blows cold even on Hi. After I shut the car off, I hear a hissing noise and the coolant drains from the reservoir. When I look underneath the car for a pool of coolant, five minutes after I shut it off, I can see a slow, steady stream at the rear of the engine in the middle. Any ideas on this one??

I just searched the engine compartment to look further into this and found on the oil cap, a milky residue: oil and coolant mixture. Coolant is burning off from the right side(when looking at the car head-on). I can't seem to find a location. But the coolant drains so quickly. Is this a sign of a bad headgasket or not likely? As said, the power steering is also making a loud whining noise whenever I turn the wheel.
