Hi all,

I've been noticing a whine while driving for a while now - it is mostly noticeable when going round roundabouts.

Today while looking for a coolant leak with the engine running, I turned the wheel a little and noticed the whine. I found that at idle it is noticeable but not that loud, when holding revs at 1500-2000 the noise is very loud - coming from drivers side.

The noise goes away with no load on steering.

Tried to video it but audio on phone seems a little distorted - very short clip below:

Any ideas?

There is fluid in steering pump reservoir. My son thought it was coming from alternator area.
