serpentine belt/power steering

Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing a squealing/whining noise from the area around the power steering fluid reservoir and/or the serpentine belt. How do you solve this? THx

Re: serpentine belt/power steering

Check the tensioner pully when they go bad they will squeal. It may be the belt needs replaced, Do not spray with silicon, on the serpentine belts it can cause the belt to slip especially on the smooth pully such as the water pump. I hope this helps.
