About 4 times in the last 2-3 weeks my chevy impala has lost power steering and the battery light comes on, but the engine does not lose power. My belt has been squealing occasionally, and I know it has a slow coolant leak. I think it may have something to do with the belt, but it appears to be in good condition. Has anyone heard of something like this or know what's wrong? Thanks.

sounds like your belt is slipping if you have a small coolant leak the the water pump is prob bad and leaking coolant onto the belt

Check your power steering fluid.
