You might just need to put some more fluid in her, then check for leaks. Seems like someone was talking about really nice ones for sale somewhere, but I can't remember.

If you do replace it, get a Turn One ps pump.

Check out frrax.com for reviews and install instructions ( search )

do not make the mistake of changing your powersteering pump before checking your alternator first. Get under the car, or get a hose and figure out exactly where the whining is coming from.
