What ended up happening is that the downpipe was too close to my steering rack and one of the hard lines burnt and power steering fluid went everywhere. I towed it to the shop that built the engine cause that's where I just usually go.
The shop informed me a week into having my car what the problem is but didn't really tell me how they are going to fix it, just told me yes my power steering line is gone. I asked when it's going to be done and they said last week. Last week comes and I call and that is when they told me that it's causw the downpipe was too close. There should be a heat shield on the rack and not sure why it's not there for the line to be touching.
Now the person that did my downpipe said they will oval out that section of the downpipe to create more room but he's taking his sweet time in going to the shop to do this. Also, I'm potentially out a steering rack for this.
Is there any legal recourse or am I shit out of luck? I've debated just having my car towed to another shop and cutting ties with both parties
