Default wierd noise from engine, steering pump?

I got a 2001 Cobra, has 78,000 miles. I have a weird winding noise and a slight vibration on pedalscoming from the engine area when I am turning left or rightslow(not supercharged). My friend said it might be the steering pump might need to be replaced, but I am not havingany steering stiffness.

Anybody know what this might be?

Can you record the sound, and then upload it to putfile or something for everyone to hear?

If its a "whine" and it happens only when you turn, then chances are your power steering fluid is low. Im willing to bet money on it.

That and Ford p/s pump are known for being noisy as well, but it's prolly just low on fluid(if it is the pump)
