Default Power Steering Squeeking!!!!! Help!!!!

I have a 1994 Acura Integra that I just purchased, and for some reason, everytime i turn the steering wheel, it squeeks really bad. I asked the guy, and he told me that the power steering fluid is leaking somewere, and he had drove the car without any fluid for about 3 months. Now i poor fluid into the car, and everytime I turn anywere, it squeeks.

Does anyone have any ideas why the car squeeks when i turn the wheel? And how do i get rid of this problem?

Thanks for all u guys help!!!

Try bleeding the power steering pump. Also, check the belt for any cracks or glazing.

help anyone?? I still can't figure it out. It's not the belt because of only squeeks when it's being turned.

definitely empty the power steering fluid and refill, also there is a Honda power steering fluid(you can get it at autozone) that works the best in Hondas, other brands work but I have heard stories of them creating squeals and it has also happened on my car until I switched to the honda stuff, you could also make sure that the belt is tight but it's most likely the fluid

BE CAREFUL. Honda power steering pumps use there own SPECIFIC FLUID. not the same as others...

I would tell you how to fix it but i just removed mine

I had a similar problem in my winter beater, and got this Lucas Power steering treatment. yea, it was $10 but its guaranteed to stop leaks. Im not sure if you can mix this with the Honda PS fluid, you would have to check. LUCAS fluids def work though. my truck is a '90 with 175,XXX, half of that bottle stopped the leak within a day of driving...

I did mention the Honda power steering fluid, when working with Lucas you can use it if you're leaking. What I would do is put it in there and then drive on it for about 100 miles or so then clean out the system and put the Honda fluid in
