Found that oil is leaking out on the driver side in the front of vehicle. Topped her up and suddenly the steering starts moaning when driving and turning. Leaking somewhere at the pump, spraying it onto the radiator fan. Cup is empty again.

Spraying power steering fluid usually comes from a leaking high-pressure hose. You may need to wash the area with an engine degreaser, then watch where the fluid is leaking from.
