Help! When I Turn The Steering Wheel It Makes A Grinding Sound Under Hood!?

[HaZ3inSKY]

This occurs when i just start up the car! When i want to steer it out of my drive way it makes a huge noise. sort of like a rattle, grinding sound! I figured it was the power steering fluid..but it is full!

But the thing is when the engine warms up and I'm already down the road, the sound is no longer there. It only happens wen i first start up the car! Please give us some help or advice as to what the problem mite b

Check power steer pump belt tension. With the engine running, standing still, try putting it on full lock and see if it makes any noise. By the way check the power steer fluid with the engine running.

standing infront of the car facing the engine, the power steering pump is the top one on the right hand side.
