maybe the gears/rotors are worn and it's not generating the required psi to assist your steering system.

Why isn't my power steering working on a 1993 mercury cougar?

First step would be to check if you have enough power steering fluid in the system. If it is low then fill it up to the fill line and it would probably be a good idea to check for leaks in the system. If you check the fluid and it is good, then there would be only one other option, and that would be the power steering pump.

Why is the power steering fluid coming out the exhaust of a 99 levus SC 400?

There is no connection from the power steering system and the engine systems. The only conceivable way that power steering fluid would be coming out of an exhaust system is to have power steering fluid poured into the fuel line. Transmission fluid could be coming through a vacuum line. This may appear to be similar to power steering fluid.
