power steering? maybe?

i've been hearing a whine coming from under my hood when i turn sharply at speed (25-35). Sometimes it lasts, but when i turn my steering wheel it gets slightly louder. I read in the tech section about the whine possibly being caused by a low power steering fluid problem. How do i check the fluid level? What kind of fluid should be put in it? Is that even the problem? thank you

it def sounds like that could be the problem.....or at least its the easiest to check......just take the cap off the resevoir and the dipstick is attatched......check the level and add if needed.....go to any local parts store and get some power steering fluid......


like i said thats the easiest to check
