I would have said it's the fluid too but- Maybe it's the power steering pump? |

out of interest have you tried bleeding the power steering system? all you have to do is open the bleed nipple, on the pump itself, start car and turn from full lock to full lock a few times, re do the bleed nipple and see if theres any difference, when turning to full lock keep it down as far as it will go and see if you hear a whoosin noise, if not then its more than likely the pump is cream krackered
