93 Making noise on start up - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

93 Corolla makes alot of noise when it's started. Sounds like it's coming from the power steering pump. It only does it when it's cold and will last for a few minutes til the engine is warm. It whines real loud when turning back and forth, only when cold, but the power steering doesn't feel tight or skip like when the pump is going out. I sprayed the belt to see if that would stop it but it does not. No obvious leaks and the fluid is at the correct level. Lost at this point and hope someone can point me in the right direction. I greatly appreciate any help.

More like this and it's louder as I turn back and forth. It only does it til the engine gets warm then it's fine. If it sits for more than a couple hours in the cold weather it'll do it again when I start it. The PS doesn't seem to be affected at all, it's not choppy or slipping. It turns just fine. I'll get my wife to take a video of the car in the am when it's cooler outside and I'll post it tomorrow. I do appreciate the replies.
