Power Steering fluid and wrapped headers are not a good idea IMHO (not sure if yours are wrapped). Any small leak gets soaked up by the header wrapping and creates too many oppurtunities for fire. seen it many times before.
They are ceramic coated fella but even then they get hot it was the undertray that soaked it all up and caught fire bloody thing, going to invest in a nice ali one or rally style one me thinks.

I was silly lucky it happened where it did, I was more worried when I went into a corner at about 90mhp and got sling shotted the other way lol.... brown pants moment for sure.
