Help Car Wont Start
So my car was acting funny while driving, I started to smell something burning so I pulled over. Pulled out my keys and the car was still runnin for 5 seconds then just shut off. Tried starting it back up but just a click then completely went dead. Then I opened my hood and there was smoking coming from my passenger side (PS leaked into alternator??). My cars electronics would turn on but it still doesn't start. Any ideas people???! Thanks in advance

Sounds like a dead alternator to me judging from the leaked PS oil and other symptoms.

Leaking PS fluid onto alternator is RIP scenario. The battery held on as long as it could before it was drained. Fix the PS pump (there are threads if you want a DIY) , new alternator and then have the battery charged with an external battery charger.
