Default Whining noise from power steering?

I checked my power steering fluid and its full! But when I turn my wheel left or right It starts to cry and whine.....(only hear it when my radio is off)
Anybody else have this problem?
Any suggestions?

The noise doesn't change with the speed of the car.

I'm taking it in on Monday.[&:]

Thanks for your time..

Like a "rubbing" sound at the steering wheel?

known issue with service fix, had that on mine and got the rack replaced under warranty. Hope your car is still covered. But even if not as known issue might get some contribution towards the repair

Its the gear oil pinion seal in the rack.

The fix is a new seal, you don't need a new rack.
