Hey, everyone. New here, but not new to forums or cars

My 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood was just totaled by flooding, so I took the insurance check and bought a 2009 CVPI with 99k miles. Test drove it around town and on the highway. Drove 57 miles home, no problems.

This morning, I head out to wash it and buy fresh oil ... and there is a distinct whining noise coming from the front end. Sounds like a tiny dirt bike and shifting between gears is sloppy. The noise increases with engine speed, but it only happens when in gear/driving or after driving and in park. In park or neutral, there is no noise.

I checked the trans fluid, it is in the zone and looks clean. My first guess is that it's the pump... thoughts?

Thanks

It could be the steering pump, or the alternator. Try listening to those close up before heading into the trans. It could save you MONEY.
