Some noise is normal, under high loads (turning wheels when car isn't moving, etc.). You should hear the noises I make when turning non-power steering equipped cars!
After you've checked the fluid as Jim suggested (dipstick is supposed to be wet, top up with the appropriate kind of PS fluid if it isn't), I'd follow your power steering system looking for leaks. I don't think the fluid is supposed to be consumed normally.
Check at the fluid resevoir, and at all pipes and hoses coming from the pump (it's the black-painted metal thing at the front right corner of the engine. PS fluid is really just hyrdraulic oil: it's reddish). My car is a 1999, and I had my leaky power steering pump replaced under warranty about a month ago.
Best,
Lutfisk
