Strange problem need some help

[bob123131]

Before you read this I apologize for the stupid post. So about a week ago my car started making a weird noise when i turn the steering wheel and also a strange noise from what i thought was the struts. I didnt really pay it any attention becasue i live in Minnesota and my car only gets driven every week or 2 tops and i just figured it was making that sound becasuse its cold and the air is dry. Then it got a little louder so i checked my power steering pump today and there was almost no fluid at all. When i looked in it it looked dry, but there must have been some becasue my power stearing never stopped working. So i filled that up, but it didn't change the noise at all. Also i have no idea where the power steering fluid went since i could find no leaks. What i can't figure out is what broke or froze up etc. to make this noise. Its very loud. Anyone got any ideas where i should start looking or had this happen to them. O yea and do you think this is one problem the noise coming form front passenger strut and the noise when i turn steering wheel or is it too.

I had that same noise last week, but it went away....it was on the drivers side though. Perhaps i should check my PS fluid

I hope mine goes away but im doubting it since today was the 9th day since it started and it was nearly 42 degrees out.

I'm not sure if no one had any ideas or if know one cared to answer, but for future info it was bad ball joints on my lower control arm and lateral control arm.
