car is a 93 968 coupe with a 6 speed and a gazillion miles. Timing belt and water pump done 10k miles ago.
If it whines, are you sure it's not the wife in the pass seat?

Seriously, the whine can come from the power steering pump when it cavitates. Clean the reservoir screen or just replace the reservoir with a new one. They are cheap.
