Default 5th Gen Power Steering noise

Hey guys,
So I got a 97 SH in August and lately I've been noticing a moaning/groaning noise from the power steering system. It only happens when accelerating from a dead stop, and it makes the moaning sound only for a split second, then is gone. It really only happens when the car is cold.
Has anyone had a similiar problem on their Prelude?
I've checked the fluid, which was fine, and I checked the belt tension and even tightened it a little, and it still has the same problem.
I know it could be air trapped in the system (needs to be bled), but before I do that, I wanted to see if any Prelude owners ever had this problem. I have an EG but it's a DX so it has no power steering, so I haven't really worked with the Honda power steering systems before.

Any ideas?
