Probably the bushing under the dash, my car does it whenever it gets cold outside. Greasing it should help quiet it down.

Could be power steering fluid needed. Check your levels

Check the fluid level and belt condition. If it has cracks or starting to wear, you will get squeaks on turns, esp loudest on full turns and hold 1-2s. If fluid level is really low there will be a whine.

It's where the steering wheel shaft goes through the firewall under the dash. Hit with a shot of silicone spray and it will be gone. My '01 had the same thing and about every winter I had to spray it.
