Audi A4 1999 1.8T Power Steering Issue
So I am new to this form and it is my first time posting so here it goes....
I have an Audi A4 1999 1.8T Sedan Quattro and the other day it started making noise in what I think is the power steering and sounds like a high pitched whine. The youtube videos below are exactly like my noise....

I know that's the 4.2 v8 but when I turn the wheel I get the same noise. Now, I haven't had a chance to get under the car because I am away at college and the car is here with me while my house and garage is about 250 miles away! Immediately I checked the fluid and it was a tad low but nothing serious so I went to a foreign car parts store and got the Audi recommended fluid, topped it off, but I still had the noise after driving it about 5 miles with it topped off. After I stopped I checked it again and its still full but I noticed a lot of foam in the PS fluid container. I didn't want to drive it anymore so it has been sitting for about a week and I don't know what to due as I really cant look under it etc. without any tools and I am wondering if I would further damage anything by going home. Does anyone have any ideas????????
Anything would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Kyle
