Default Help!! Strange Sound

I have a whirring sound (from inside the car it sounds like it's coming from the steering wheel) it increases in pitch and volume as I turn the wheel or accelerate. I can't hear the sound as well as I speed up (probably due to the ambient noise). However, the sound seems to dissipate the longer I drive, but never fully goes away. Please help, anybody have any insight?

Default You're low on steering fluid.

You probably have a leak somewhere. Top off the reservoir with Pentosin and get it checked!

Default That's Prestone!

Antifreeze is glycol based. Ethylene Glycol or Propylene Glycol.

Default They must sell all kinds of fluids.

The steering fluid we had at the Audi store was by Pentosin.
