Mitsubishi: 2001 Eclipse - noisy power steering pump?

It seems this is a common issue - at startup, the car makes a groaning
sound during low-speed turns. It usually goes away once the car is warm.
The fluid has always been filled to the MAX mark. The belts are also very
prone to squealing, which I suspect may be due to the psp.

I have read several things about it - that there is no cure, check fluid
level, change fluid, etc. I also found a TSB from 1 Feb 2001 titled
"Subject regarding power steering pump replacement", but don't have the
text.

I would appreciate any pointers to good information about the problem.
If I take off the belt, is there any way to try and figure which pulley is
not operating correctly?
