First thing you need to do is find out where the fluid is leaking from.
If you run them low on fluid for to long they will always whine.
Figure out where its leaking , fix it and replace the pump.

NOTE you will need a special tool to remove the pulley so you can acess the bolts that hold the pump on.

How do the hoses look? A lot of times PS hoses don't leak but they ooze fluid. How much of a fluid drop are you looking at every couple days?

What's your definition of screaming? Ford power steering pumps are known to be loud even if they are in good working order. Also there has to be a leak somewhere you aren't seeing if your losing fluid. You might just have air bubbles working out still. And the pump will make a racket until it has the proper fluid level in it.
