Hello! My car has developed a loud whining sound in the front of the car that gets louder when the steering wheel is turned to the left or right. Doesn't matter if I am going at slow or fast speeds. Also, the whining sound doesn't start until after the car has warmed up 10-20 minutes. Any suggestions?

Since it does it when turning the wheels, Im going towards the power steering pump.Check the P/S fluid level and see if the fluid smells "burnt".Have you noticed any leaks under the car?
