Default Please Help!!

i was just driving home everything was good n all of a sudden i made a turn n when my steering wheel was turned i heard a buzzing type noise.. i noticed it made the noise as the wheel was fully turned so when i got home i popped open the hood n didnt hear it as clearly.. i turned my wheel all the way to both sides n the noise increased.. can someone tell me what it is or might be? thanks

thats the whine of death- its either fluid level low or the pulley/pump going to go out soon. check your belts too though.

yup... if the fluid level is ok, you have a pump going bad most likely...
