Default Power Steering Whine

Hey all.. today after a little road test on my buddies new eibach/ bilstien setup, doing a bit of hard cornering for a few minuites, the power steering pump started to make some racket.. Kind of a groany whine. I checke dteh fluid, it was pretty low, ( below the "add" mark... so i topped it off, and let the car cool down.... Havent driven it yet... Any thoughts?

thanks!

See if it still makes thenoise after you topped it off. If so the fluid bottle might be going bad.
