Default Car issue, need some help diagnosing

Okay, its been about 1 year that I have owned my 95' Sc3. I love it , no worries, change the oil, did brake work, lowered a lil with tein. Replaced the rear main seal TWICE! Its fine now, no leaks ...no more smoke . Now I have owned 3 civics prior to this car and I am getting more familiar with it everyday. This morning I woke up late to work, rushed out the house, and sped off, now I spun wheels (maybe half a seconds worth) but right after i did my car seemed different. When I approached the stoplight i reved it to 2k and it took a slower time to get back to normal idle. and i could here the higher noise in the front, (sounded like the tension for th belt was strained (i dunno tho)). If I was immobile and truned the wheel from left to right, you would here the strain in the power steering, the lil whine. By the time i got to work (45 min drive) the powersteering noise subsided, and the rev noise dissipated. But I thought it was a clutch issue at first because it reminded me of my civic, (doing a burnout, warming up yoru clutch etc) but the gears were not slipping and tranny-wise things seemed to be okay, but I don't know guys I'm still learnign this car. I thought it would be clutch issue since there was tire spin it strained the waorn clutch and made things worse, PLEASE HELP


**excuse typos, I'm at work sneeking this on here**

Noise from the pwr steering pump is probably your problem. Check it out if it's the original might be time to change it out.
