No... not *that* noise... Anything but that...

I drive a well-maintained 1995 900S with 72,000 miles, which a number of mechanics have deemed to be in "particularly sound condition" (but of course that's very subjective).
I have noticed that on warmer days, when I have the steering wheel turned ALL THE WAY to one side (when parking), that hideous, very distinct, whinny-like SCREECH noise is emitted from what I believe to be the engine compartment. We have all heard this sound; it plagues older cars which have presumably been neglected. On such vehicles, the sound usually persists for quite awhile as the driver accelerates and gets up to speed. But for me, it only happens when the steering wheel is in either the extreme left or right position.
Needless to say, I am very worried. I have been told that this noise in an indication of a failing or failed transmission, but I'm no mechanic -- I don't know how close to the truth that is. Could is be a power steering issue as well? Please offer any insight you have. Thank you.
