Unhappy noisy power steering pump...Help!

Hi guys.

It's getting cold now up here in Canada......

....And my power steering pump is quite noisy when I first start the car in the morning (brrrrrrr!). After warming-up for a while, the noise disappears.

I checked fluid the level and it's fine.... My guess is that the noise is due to cavitation (air bubbles) inside the pump caused by some worn O-ring(s), which is amplified by the cold weather....

Has anybody experienced this before??? What was the fix ???

Thanks for your help.
