"and now when i turn the wheel it continues to make the grinding noise"

Do you mean when turning the steering wheel when the vehicle is standing still? If so, that would a power steering issue. Start by checking the fluid level.

thank you so much...i did check the fluid cause thats what i originally though and i put fluid in and it was fine then it did it again later in the day i checked the fluid again and it was empty...im guessing theres a whole or crack in the line somewhere....( at least i hope thats all it is)

Yup, most common would be a rubber hose where it is crimped to a metal pipe. Next most likely would be the pump itself. It shouldn't be too hard to find when it leaks out that fast.
