What could be causing this noise when steering?

The noise i'm referring to is probably best described as a sort of groaning/creaking and i can hear it when for example the car is idling and i turn the steering wheel sharply to the left, then sharply to the right. I only mention hearing it when idling although it will possibly be there when driving too.<p>I assume its obviously steering related (clever eh!), but what exactly will it be?<p>Cheers all

its the drain that the power steering pump makes on the engine at idle. Unless its very loud its not really a problem.

Thanks for the replies. The power steering fluid is not low and i guess the noise isnt exactly deafening so i will just keep an ear on it.
