My car has been whistling/squealing for a while now and the shop told me that its the power steering pump. Does this sounds right? Its not the usual whine that I hear from it and this happens at idle when your not even touching the wheel. When you turn the car off, it will squal for another 2-3 seconds after its off too.

If you have a working A/C, if it was running, it will make noise after the engine shuts off. The pressure inside the A/C lines equalizes and makes a strange whistling sound.
