the wine from your power stearing pump is normal when you turn the wheel all the way to lock (turned till it wont turn anymore).

I wouldn't say that the noise is normal. My pump makes no noise on full lock. You should still check the fluid level.

I'll check the brake fluid level too,could it be the power steering belt making that noise?

All of the accessories are actually only run by one belt. If it is slipping, there are other problems that need to be addressed.

its its slipping, it'll get pretty worn quick.. there's a tensioner on the front of the engine, if the bearing went bad you'll know it sounds like crap.

well...as i stated before,i would think the noise would be constant and not just when i turn the wheel to the extreme right or left,if the belt was loose or slipping.

I actually need to try it again and see if it only happens when backing up and turning the wheel all the way to the right or left,i can't remember if that's when it happens.

I will report back with specific results.
