Ranger about to blow!

Ranger about to blow!
Hey guys and gals,
Well, here's to honesty, I've been depending on my ford ranger to work, and yesterday, it barely made it to the front of the house.
Smoke coming out of the yellow pipe as seen on the picture, and a noise that says "I'm about to go into major failure mode".
So. I'm aware I'm new and it may seem a bit intrusive to come in and yell for help, but I'm in a thight financial situation... and seriously, this is awesome. I didn't know there was such a huge active community of ford ranger lovers.
I'm technically dumb. I hope it's just a fluid I need to add.
Anyway and anyhow, thank you all.
Charles

Yes, good news is the engine should be fine.
Power steering pump is most likely bad if it was run dry.
Wrecking yards are full of them so not an expensive fix, like $15-$20, new is $50-$60.
And can be done with basic socket and wrench sets.
But you often need a Pulley remover/puller to get to the bolts that hold the pump to the bracket, if thats the case you can usually rent them from auto parts store or tool rental place.
