I was driving downtown today to deliver a bill and all of the sudden my car started making a funny noise as I turned right.  Now the car makes the noise every time I make a sharp turn.  It is kind of a squeaky grinding noise and I think that it probably has something to do with power steering.  The fluid doesn't appear to be low even though that's what I first assumed it was.  Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?  I need help asap!

btw, this is a 95 se auto.

i had the same problem last week in my 95 but mine was doing it as i drove straight. the power steering resivor has no markings for full or empty just a dip stick that reads hot. Added a little pwr. steering fluid and its all gone. Make sure to inspect your hose from the resivor to the pump because they sometimes leak.
