Thank you for the fast reply! Not noticed any fluid on the floor or around the engine bay recently from an leaks or anything. (I did spill abit when topping it up, you may see this in the video) I’ll give taking the belt off a go and see if I can notice anything! I’ve posted the vids to YouTube and posted them below. Thanks again for the reply

Went out today in the car and went to reverse park, put steering wheel into full lock and then a grinding/whining noise started happening. There has been a spinning noise from the belt area there for awhile now but never seemed this bad (since a garage fitted the a new alternator a few years back). Around 5 months ago the Alternator grinding/whining noise used to only happen on a cold start when turning (anywhere near full lock) and disappears once the car warmed up but seems constant since today. After the incident today I topped up the power steering as I noticed it was quite low, still continued to make the same noise. The noise also seems to dissipate when driving normally, only when idling or low revs does the noise sound worse VW Lupo 2002 1L If anyone could advise please? I was wondering if it was a bearing of some sort with the alternator itself or pulleys. I’ve attached some recording’s
