Since we have had such cold weather, the power steering pump groans and whines all the time (2012 Raptor w/ 37k miles). It happens just idling and also while driving. Is this just temperature related, or sound like a legitimate issue? I guess I need to check fluid for starters, but curious if this is a weak link?

Probably just low fluid....if its low and really cold out the thicker oil might pull some air in until it thins out.

Just a thought

Mine did that, fluid was 1/8 inch low, thought that can't be it, added fluid and it went away.
