Hello all,

This is my first winter with the van. Actually as a So Cal transplant in western NY it's my first 'real' winter. Lot's to learn. I noticed that now that temperatures are getting low (10 and below), there is a howl from the back when starting up that seems to be coming from the power steering pump. I was thinking it was shot, but is this just cold weather complaining? Is any damage being done? Are there any other cold weather sounds to look out for, or not to worry about? Thanks in advance.
