Happened to me. It was the rack return hose. Amazing how you can drain the entire PS system in a few seconds.

The rack might survive a 10 mile journey, but the pump might not since it'll keep rotating with no oil. You might want to determine which hose went and attempt a roadside repair. The low pressure hose is somewhat easily replaceable and only costs a couple of dollars.

I had the same problem Doug had. I also had a pressure hose get a pin hole and leak. Remember - these cars are around 10 years old. Hoses start to go.
