Why would there be a squealing sound when turning until your car warms up?

Answer

Your belt is probably loose. Your steering pump labors and stresses the belt and squeals when the belt is loose. You should have less than 3/4 inch play up and down on your belt when properly tightened.

answer sounds to me like your power steering fluid is old and dirty or wrong viscosity oil thins out when hot hence the noise going away
