power steering fluid change?
the color of it looks like dark brown. but when i like tap some of it off on the side it seems to drip a lil red. when i'm driving around, or at a idle, there's a faint small high pitch whining sound. and some kinda belt wurring away thats like loose or sumtin making a fluttering noise which i asked about in another thread. well here's a pic of the color. u think i need to change?

Hard to say just by that, as I have seen PS (or ATF fluid) look like that after taking it out. Also depends on the type of fluid use (I personally like Mobil 1 ATF for PS fluid).
What you should do is take a few drops of it and drop it on a paper towel and see if it blots evenly and doesn't take to long to do so, should blot with in a second or so, or let's just say it needs to blot period.
Also the smell should generally still have some sweetness to it.
