Power steering pump

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok yesterday started the car after leaving a store. I heard a very funny sound from the engine bay. Like a loud whining sound, also sounded like grinding. Went to the mechanic and the noise stopped, so he couldnt say much. I have noticed the steering being lil tough. So i went to work and we look at the power steering fluid, it was very low. Sound went away a bit. But i still hear it on start up, not as loud though. U think the pump is bad now? What are the signs

Whining like an old Ford when you turn your wheel to park or to leave a parking spot, on startup squealing could mean dry belts.
