Found noise is coming from the power steering pump due to low fluid. There appears tobe a leak from around the rack and pinion or the pressure hose or both. Both were replaced and are still covered under warranty. After speaking with the parts house they requested we clean the area, add dye to the system. After 500-1000 miles we can re-inspect and verify the source of the leak and take pictures if needed.
