just recently my dashboard has been making a werid beeping noise...at first i checked the oil and coolant to make sure everything was ok, but it still came back...it goes on exactly 3-4mins as soon as i turn the car on and drive off with it...can somebody help me? the noise is driving me crazy!!! the noise pattern goes something like this "* * * * *!" "* * * * *!" "* * * * *!..." (*=beep)

power steering computer?
yea i think it is because i unplugged the power steering electrical connector and the noise turned off but it drove like a mack truck...it needed power steering fluid anyway so i put some in...but as soon as i reconnected it, it did the same beeping noise 3-4 min after i drove off with it...maybe i need a new power steering computer? i have the haynes repair manual and i also have a mechanics workshop manual for the car but i cant find anything that can tell me why the power steering is making that beeping noise...does anybody have any suggestions?

Is it leaking fluid?
not sure...i know i put more than enough power steering fluid, but it was almost empty when i first checked it. ill check it again but i think the system could have air...but then again if it had air it probably wouldnt be steering good right?
