Squealing when power steering engages...

Thanks to everyone on this forum in advance. I fixed my shift linkage a few weeks ago with the help of those on this forum. Saved me a bundle as my 1999 9-3 just "crossed over" and I'm now going to wrench on it exclusively myself.
And so, I've been paying close attention to the car.
It seemed kind of sudden but I've noticed a squealing noise when I engage the steering in either direction. With the hood up it is definately coming from the area of the serpentine belt and unless I'm seeing things, from the driver's seat I think I can see the engine move a bit on its mounts when the squealing starts.
The sound seems proportional to the how hard the PS needs to work. It's really bad at a stop and slow speed, but less pronounced on the road but that could also be because I'm turning less at speed.
Any advice on things to check would be appreciated.
