You will probably have to soon replace the power steering high pressure hose. Also check out the crank pulley as those are known to be a common point of failure. Pre-cats tend to go bad sometimes. That's it as far as what I have dealt with.

keep an eye on your oil level over the next few days(depending on how much you drive the car). The oil could have never been filled properly from its last oil change, you have an oil leak, or worst case you have an oil burner.
