Default Creaking steering

My steering has just started to creak when i turn it. Sounds like its coming from the engine bay area rather than the steering column.

Power steering fluid is all up to the correct levels, any ideas?

Probably wise to get it checked out first as there are plenty of people driving about with this mod on with no issues.......
