    My car has started a wonderful whining noise while idling. It sounds like its a power steering issue. Fluid level is good and no steering issues... any clue?

    It does it while driving as well. I know p/s usually only does it when turning its just a different noise than the last time I replaced idler pulley.

    anything with a bearing can whine. Check all the pulleys and belt.
