only happens when the engine is cold. after it warms up it doesn't happen at all.

Thanks for the help.

Probably due to air is entering the power steering pump through the inlet joint O-ring.

mine did the same. Honda dealer wanted 750.00 to fix many things. There is an updated red o-ring at the inlet fitting on the pump. .89 cents and 5 minutes to change. Dealers suck!!!

A LOT of people got screwed for pumps with this issue. Luckily, I knew about the o-ring before my pump started screaming one cold morning.

Low PS fluid level will also cause this problem. Make sure fluid level is good and no leaks.

good luck
