Default Does it whine only after the car has been sitting in the cold?

Mine does that only for a minute or so in the morning. I think it's just moisture that dissipates once you get going. If it whines all the time, something's wrong.

Default Check the fluid while the car is running...

Seriously, this happened to me.

Check for bubbles on the steering fluid, if you see bubbles you might have to change the pump.
