Low on power steering fluid which is the same as automatic transmission fluid and also needs to be checked with the engine running. In which case you need to investigate where it has gone.

Careful not to over fill it if you top it up or it likes to go all over your alternator.

Check drivebelt, P/S Fluid level, otherwise your looking at a new steering rack - fairly common on that model

In that case start by looking at the pressure switch on the steering rack (drivers side) for a leak. They're notorious for it. It's the exact same one as the one on the brake master cylinder that kills the cruise control.

The pumps also leak as people put normal dx3 type trans fluid in when they're supposed to have type F trans fluid/power steering fluid.
