Whining noise at cold start 850 1996

I have a 1996 850 that makes a strange whining noise only on cold starts. After the engine has warmed up it disappears. Its coming from the front of the engine - which is to say that its in the belt-drive area or passenger side of the car. It sounds strangely like a bad power steering pump but not quite. Its not very loud. Could it be the water pump? I'm due for a timing belt replacement soon though. Thanks in advance for any help.
