Default Power steering or what? help?

I have noticed a sound when my steering wheel is straight or turned any where to the left.
Its hard to explain the sound to be honest.
Its not a clunk more like a light grinding or whining sound

I also feel a slight vibration as I press the gas peddle down

The car isnt hard to turn either way

Could this be my power steering, rack and pinion or....?

I know not the best description but please bare with me

prob a lil low on power steering fluid might just need to top it off on the dipstick marking, that's when mine gets low it whines about once a year from a rack sender leaking

I checked days before i posted this and the fluid was fine

i seen a youtube video on this site where a guy ran some trans tune (i think) by seafoam through the power steering reservoir
