I can't believe your mechanic couldn't track that down?? At least the mechanic could see your vehicle and drive it. The power steering pump is full? I'd probably use a mechanic stethoscope on the components under the hood to locate noise. What about power steering belt? If the steering is the issue, there is the rack/pinion assembly and pump hoses. I can't think of anything else at the moment?
