Here's the video I referenced above: 2023 VMC Speedster Replica Steering
I checked and all the steering and suspension components are good to go; no surprise, as I do a safety check before each drive the way pilots do before they fly.
Luckily I found a mechanic 1/2-hour away that can take the car in 2 weeks. Until then, I'll do what I can to get the car there without killing myself.
I got under the car and saw that my steering box was leaking.
