hmmm....could be the pump is going bad.

if it has fluid in it then either the pump is going, or its just a noisy pump.......which some are just noisy no matter what

check the tension on ur belt and if it need adjustment then adjust it that might cause the noise to

2000 type-r with 42,000 miles

My steering wheel makes a whining noise as well. I really only hear it when it is really cold out, around 30-40 degrees F. Not sure what it is either, as my PS fluid is topped off as well, with Genuine Acura Fluid as recommended by the Acura service technician because I want to get the most out of my Acura without risking damage to any part if I were to use K-Mart premium power steering fluid, designed for any engine manufactured from the year 1985 and up.

lol it hasnt been above 40 here in weeks. so does anyone else hear noise when its below a certain temp or is it a freak thing?

I live in Tempe- Arizona.
Today it was a grueling 78 degrees.
Not bad for January - its hell in the summer
Anyway I here the same noise, but only when I turn my wheel while going
slow- backing out of the drive way. I tried the topping off but haven't had any luck so far. I was on some site today (jdmfan) that links to several honda manufacture vehicle reports on malfuntcions of the car and how to fix them, (service bulletins, I think they're called)the only thing was its for civics.
Im sure thre has to be some sort of newsletter like this for integras.
