Hi there. It sounds like your power steering belt is loose. When power steering is being engaged such as slow or no speed turning, the demand increases on the pump and the pump is dependent upon the belt. If the belt is loose, then it will chirp or squeal when loaded. Also, if oil or power steering fluid have contaminated the belt, it can exhibit similar concerns. YourMechanic has several available technicians that can assist you with a noise while turning inspection and a fluid leak inspection. The technician will present you with an estimate and direction of needed repair.
