Let your engine warm up at idle before driving weather it is cold or warm outside my friend has one and he is working on 400,000 miles on that same engine hope this helps
Could be cold oil in the power steering making the pump whine or in the transmission
may be a transmission oil change or pump oil change could point to the problem
SOURCE: Dodge caravan 200. Transmission whines, especially low and second
It sounds like the converter may be failing.

THE FIRST THING IS TO HAVE THE COMPUTER SCANNED FOR CODES, THESE CODES WILL HELP IN FINDING PROBLEM, ALSO CHECK THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE, AS THIS VALVE CONTROLS THE IDLE AND GOES BAD OFTEN. AND LAST TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT VACCUM LINES FOR LEAKS, MOVE THEM AROUND AND LISTEN FOR A HISSING NOISE. GOOD LUCK.

I just replaced mine and had the same problem. If you look at the new one, you should find a small hole at the base of the metal tube. Using a mirror, I located the same hole in the one in the valve cover and inserted a pointed awl into it and was able to pry it out. Do it slowly since you are prying against plastic. When inserting the new one, I found that it should not be inserted as far the original one was and has a gentle snap.

the wine is most likely the power steering pump, check your fluid level if its full then you will probably have to replace the pump. the reason it gets better after it worms up is that as the fluid gets hot it expands and thins so it take less effert for the pump to pump hot fluid then cold.

Does the noise change when you turn the steering wheel back and forth?
