Why does power steering whine?
There are three reasons why you would hear a whine in power steering. The first reason is when the steering wheel is turned to far. The fluid flow to the pump is cut off forcing the pump into pressure relief. The pump has to recirculate the high pressure fluid within itself because there is nowhere for this fluid to go. If this is done to long then the fluid can heat up causing the fluid to break down and causing parts inside the pump to experience metal-to-metal contact. A second reason why whining could occur is because of an increase in the pump speed. The more fluid that is forced through the ports at a time can causes a velocity and the fluid cannot move fast enough. The vanes inside the pump cause a vacuum, which will fill with oil vapor immediately. When the vane reaches the high pressure port a vacuum cell is opened and oil rushes in to fill the void. The third reason when the oil in the reservoir really gets churned up or is low. This will allow a bubble into the pump.
Where is the power steering fluid pump?
The pump will be driven off of the fan belt, so look at the pulleys and see which one has hoses hooked to it that go to the steering box or rack.
Sometimes the power steering pump is driven by a separate belt rather than the fan belt. If in doubt, find the hoses at the steering box / rack end and follow them back towards the engine.

What do you do when your power steering fluid starts foaming?
"Foaming Fluid" in a PS pump is indicative of an over filled reservoir, a low reservoir, or in the case of rack and pinion steering, a "blow-by" in the reserculating valve. Of course, the cheapest remedy is checking the reservoir for it's contents. the most expencive is replacing the rack, but since the Foaming really doesn't affect the function of the power steering, you should be ok for a while. The failing of a rack doesn't happen all at once. it is slow and gradually you will lose the "power" Great for building uper body muscles, lousey for getting the front of the car going in the right direction!
