Default Power Steering whining

Got plenty of Power steering fluid, no leaks. Car has 55k on it.
Getting a small whine when turning the steering wheel, seems to have become more pronounced in the last couple of weeks.

Drain and fill with new fluid? Procedure?

Worth taking to someone for a flush and fill?

I guess at 55k I should do the ps and brake fluids. Anyone know a good reference for procedures on this? Always seems to be a trick to draining or flushing all the fluid from these things, and I am not likely to figure it out the first time. Gotta love the internet...

A friend of mine had the same thing happen on his Camaro and the dealer changed it out under warranty. His was also leaking. Jimmy

As I said, mine's not leaking. I am assuming you meant they changed out the fluid?
