Ok, i have searched, as i always do. But all the normal answers to "check your power steering fluid, check your oil, check your coolant, ect" do not apply. i have checked all of those and even the winshield wiper fluid. They are all good. Even when taking off the radiator cap it is perfect and i have no leaks. All of my gauges read fine as well. But... My problem is this. When you start it, it fires right up without fail everytime. But i hear this sound as if some kind of pump is not working. Like it's low or something. For the most part it isn't bad, but when you turn the wheels it becomes much more noticable. Making me think power steering fluid. But it has brand new fluid in it (just rebuilt 420a). Which makes me think maybe the water pump? Since the car has only been running for like a week and a half i thought maybe just air pockets or something. But how long does it take to get rid of the air pockets? Also, just 2 days ago it started making some kind of belt squeel. Could be just because theyre new belts but the belts look good and arent walking or anything. Are they too tight, or just because theyre new? Any help would be appreciated. Any pumps i have not checked for fluid? What have i missed?
 
Here is a link as to what it sounds like. Sorry if it sounds bad, i took it from my phone.
