Default Rubbing noise

Whenever I make a right turn, whether I'm just leaning through it or actually turning the bars all the way, I get a noise that sounds like metal rubbing together coming from the front end. I had thought it might be the front brake rubbing on the disc when I turned, but I'm not sure. I've checked the brake lines and there are no kinks in it. When I visually check the brake pad I can see a gap between the pad and disc, even when I turn the bars I can still see the gap. Lately the front brake has been feeling a little spongy, but this noise was occuring before the handle went spongy. Anyone out there have any suggestions on what I should look at or try????? Thanks!
