Default Power steering dead on 00 Disco 2, HELP!!

Hello!
A few days ago, my power steering fluid started leaking and I could hear the whining sound every time I turned the wheel.... The next morning, there was no more power steering fluid in the reservoir. Now the noise is gone and I have no more power steering.
If anybody knows, what part should be replaced? The power steering gear box, the power steering pump, the reservoir???
I would appreciate any help, suggestions...
Thanks~

Sam

Did you add more fluid or keep driving with no fluid until the pump seized?

Do you know where the fluid was lost? Did you find a leak?

Don't drive it till you can fill your system back up with fresh P/S fluid. Based on your post, sounds like you may not be real mechanical so I would get it into a mechanic right away.
Driving without fluid will burn up your pump so fill it ASAP.
