I have a very very loud squeak from cold which eventually disappears as it gets warm .. could it be the water pump ?

A dab of KY should sort it.

Or power steering pump/loose belt?

Is it the squeal of the belt slipping? Either fit a new one or sprinkle some talcum powder on one of the pulley's - or if you are really brave gently hold a piece of chalk to the underside of the belt when the engine is running.

*I take no responsibility if some numpty looses a finger doing the latter
