Default Power Steering pump question. Help please!!

My power steering pressure hose has been leaking for a bit; I haven't had a chance to replace it yet, but plan to on wednesday. This morning while driving my, it jeep started to make a whining sound coming from around the area of the leak. Is it the power steering pump making the whining sound because it is low on fluid? Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Prolly has air in the system and once you change the line you will need to bleed the air out.
