Power Steering Question

So first off I want to say this forum is great. Monday my car starting making a whining sound and it got a lot louder when I turned the wheel. I assumed it had something to do with the PS. I searched this forum and found out the common problem was low fluid. So I checked a sure enough it was really low. I topped it off and the noise when away except when I turn the wheel completely to one side. So at idle and most of the turn its quiet, but when I turn the wheel the last inch or two the noise comes back. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

Thanks
Scott
