Most definitely in the power steering. You can run vehicle for approx. 2 minutes time and noise will go away. System does get very air bound. Can work air out of it. Okay for the rest of day. When vehicle sits on a cold start up, the noise is back again everytime. When turning steering wheel you can hear a whinning noise as well.
