Default Moaning from engine as I parallel park/turn the wheel...PS pump going?

It never was this loud. Sounds like it's straining to just turn the wheel when in tight situations. I rarely lock it and even then only for a few seconds. Had the oil changed today by Jiffy Lube and they said that they saw "condensation on the PS lines". What does that mean?

Default Condensation on the power steering lines? DUH! It's cold and foggy in S.F.!! HAHA

But seriously, condensation? That should have NOTHING to do with it. Unless you have a leak, but that's doubtful, cause you would be losing fluid. Is the steering tighter. Maybe you just need some new fluid in there.
