Power Steering

Hey what's up. I am hearing a noise when I turn left or right, a whizzing noise, like a low horn. I put power steering fluid in it and it's ok for a while, but then it does it again after a few days. Any suggestions as to what could be the problem? I don't see anything on the ground as far as a leak, so what other things could it be?

When it acts up again is the fluid low again?

My car did that when I first got it... fill it up,
about two weeks later, the noise would be back and
the fluid was low.

The last time that it was low, I put in Lucas (sp?)
Power Steering leak stopper.

That was about four months ago... fluid's still up
and no noise what-so-ever.

Hope this helps!
