Default 87 5000 turbo several things.

ok so im working on getting this car in running condition right now... couple things i haven't been able to figure out today and now the sun is going down... so here they are.

1. radiator fan isn't turning on when the car is on. it will turn on if i run the engine till it gets hot past the half way mark on the gauge and then turn the car off. the fan will run while the car is off till its cooled back down.

2. the power steering doesn't seem to be building pressure. it feels like there is no PS when you first start turning the wheel. if you keep turning like if you were going from way left to way right the ps seems to kick in some what. there is some kind of fluid coming off the ps belt/pulley. i can't tell where it is coming from for sure i think it may be from where the shaft connecting to the pulley goes in to the ps pump.

3. some brake light keeps coming on. its a red triangle and it says BRAKE in side of it. whats this warning is it my fluid warning because i just filled that this morning and it still is coming on...bad sensor or does it mean something else is up. they felt kinda funky when i moved the car...but i didn't really drive it enough to tell.
