When I start my 2001 Caravan it squeals like it's out of power steering fluid, it's not. Already replaced the pump. It doesn't do it when it's hot out, but the colder it gets the longer it's squealing. Once it's warmed up, the noise goes away. It sounds like it's coming from under the van. Any ideas? Could it have the wrong type of fluid in it? Is there a certain type of fluid the van uses? Would a power steering fluid treatment help?

Thanks, but the belt's okay. The noise comes from under the van, basically at the bottom of the steering column. Could something there need greased? Thanks, but the belt's okay. The noise comes from under the van, basically at the bottom of the steering column. Could something there need greased?

Well all I can see now is maybe your Alternator, because the only moving underneath could be the Torque converter. Or could be your water pump or. Buy an stethoscope cost about $14 And try to feel any moving part on your car and maybe that would led you to a Good result.
