Hello.

I'm hearing this wheezing-type noise that sounds like it's coming from my power steering pump's pully where the belt drives it. I think the belts are fine in terms of tension and condition. I've heard this noise for years but it seems to occur when it's moist or cool outside. Lately though, it's been wheezing almost constantly.

Does anybody else know what I'm talking about (I certainly don't most of the time)? I'm taking the car to the dealer Friday for scheduled maintenance. Am I looking at a new pump? It seems to work fine, although I can hear it heave-ho when I turn the wheels.

Thanks in advance.
