Recently I got the two front tires stuck in my yard in a trench. The back wheels could not get traction and spun when transmission engaged. To try and get it out I placed it into four wheel drive and tried to engaged the front tires to get out, no such luck.
Eventually I got it out but now the steering column whirrs or whines when I turn it from neutral in either direction.

What are the steps to diagnose this problem?

Check fluid level in pump reservoir, check for leaks in hoses and steerong box, especially at the bottom seal(sector shaft).
