steering making noise after starting

recently my steering has been making some noise after i start my 4runner. i noticed it about a week ago and it had gotten slowly worse each day. it only happens right after i start my 4runner while the engine is cold. it sounds like the whining noise that you hear when turning the wheel to full lock but it happens with every movement for a few minutes. what is causing this problem?
