can you describe what this sound is like? i.e. knocking, squealing, exploding, anything would help to diagnose the problem

its a loud squealing noise....once the car warms up it goes away...it has me puzzled.

maybe its the power steering hose! i remember my car start up really load untill it got hot and went away.... so then i notice my powersteering hose was slightly bent (still making the sound) so i adjusted the hose the sound went away!

True, but I think something with the power steering makes more of a whining noise than a squealing noise. I've had a leak in my PS line and every time it goes low the PS pump doesn't like it so it whines about it
