Squeal when cold

My 2002 C32 has 63k miles. Now when I start the car in the morning there is a rather loud squeal from under the hood. Also when first starting out the power steering groans a bit. The squeal goes away in a block or two and groaning power steering lasts for a mile or so. I'm in so-cal so it has been only about 50 degrees at night. Any ideas?

Thanks

Also, you might need to change out your power steering fluid.
