Depends on how long it went with no fluid. If you got it all sealed up again top it up and give it a go.

Only for like 5 minutes while I got it home. I guess im asking if its even possible to plug the plastic stopper back in or is it done since it came loose?

You are not permitted to plug it back in unless your factory training certification is current.

Wew is that a sensor?
Unless it’s threaded and somehow unscrewed, I doubt that’s going back in without a new PS pump.

This. Take it off and get a good look at it. Maybe you could clean it up real good and glue it back in place if it is plastic in an aluminum bore? Never seen a power steering pump with a wire coming out of it...

It's most likely held in place with a snap ring that rusted to bits. You'd probably have to take it off to replace the snap ring. Personally I'd just replace the entire unit but if you're a poor fag harbor freight should have everything you need. $20.

Plug the hole with Bondo and re-fill.

Hard to see in that pic, but damned if it doesn't look like a snap-ring's in there.

Give it an epoxy rim job and push that bitch back in.
