Thanks Trap and to all that commented. As I had said before the initial problem was a blown power steering hose that pumped about 30 liters of ATF on the campsite. A neighbor went out and bought me 3 bags of kitty litter which I put down on the spill. The mechanic got me up and running Sunday pm. Then he found the flex pipe was rusted out and wide open next to the oil pan. I didn't want to chance a fire, as we had a 4hour drive in front of us, so he came back on Monday a put a new piece on. So 900 dollars later we were on the road. It was a blessing that it happened where it did.
