Steering wheel does not keep on direct straight
Camry 2003.
Just found steering wheel does not keep on direct straight. In order to go straight, the steering wheel has to be an angle (obviously an angle left).
The car has power steering liquid leak, just wonder if it related to this, or any other problem, what is the worst situation?
Any advise would be appreciated

Thanks for the replay.
Sorry I did not describe it correctly. The car can still go straight. But, in order to keep the car go straight, I have to hold the steering wheel in a little angle in left direction.
Yes, I it is new issue. The car did not hit curb or anything such recently.
Just wonder is the car still drivable? Thanks!

A now skewed steering wheel without you knowing the cause is something you should look into If you can't inspect the car find a shop.
A few things you can check on your own if able..
Tire pressure.
Damaged tire.
Loose tire/rim
Dragging brake
Bad wheel bearing
Loose steering gear and suspension
Jack up each tire and rotate to inspect it and rim for damage plus check for dragging brake, bad wheel bearing grinding/dragging). Grab tire at 3 and 9 o'clock and try to move one tire side in and the other to check for excess play. Look at the steering gear and suspension for obvious damage.
