Help! My corsa has developed a noise which can only really be described as hissing from the engine when you put your foot down. Also, it's flat as f__k.

Does anyone know what it could be and how much to fix?

Thanks

Mr Kindness, please forgive but i know very little about the workings of an engine. Wouldn't know where to look to be totally honest.

All i know is that when i accelerate, there's a hissing noise from the engine, and the car is struggling to pick up speed. I put my foot down to the floor and nothing happens.

Seen on other websites mentioning it could be the power steering but i'm pretty sure it's not that.
