I hear a grinding noise when I turn the wheel either right
or left. First I thought it was worn out ball joints, but I don't
hear a clicking sound. It just sounds that a belt is getting
tighter when I turn the wheel. Power steering? The wheel
is not hard to turn.

Yes it was the p/s after all. It was low on fluid since
the gasket was torn. Luckily I caught it in time.

Ain't it great when it costs $2 to fix something instead of $2000 ;-)

I've been using Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak in mine. It went from
needing fluid added every day to every couple of months. Some day I'll
replace the seal... Probably won't help the gasket though.

Yep, p/s fluid and an O ring (not gasket) from Ace Hardware did the trick.
