power steering questions

Here's the background...
...a couple months ago, I had an idler pulley break on my '99 9-3. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the pulley and the drive belt.
Some time since then, the car started making a whining sound when I turned (especially at lower speeds). It has become more pronounced recently as the temperature starts to drop. I checked the power steering fluid today to find it low (below the dipstick completely).
When I called the dealer, he said that he wanted me to bring it in so they could look at it (naturally) because the power steering is a closed system and should lose that much fluid. I don't see any leaks upon my brief inspection so I am going to fill it up and see what happens.
Here's the questions...
1. Could the power steering issue be linked to the drive belt problem from a couple months ago? (I think that power steering is linked into the drive belt.)
2. Is there an alternative to using the Pentosin CHF 11S (red top) that I hear so much about (including in the owners manual)? How different is the CHF 7.1 (green top) and should I avoid it for this car?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
