For the past couple days, right when I turn my car on, for a second or two it makes a really weird squeal noise. It doesn't happen everytime, just sometimes. It's happened before a long time ago, but I got it fixed but forgot exactly what it was.

Is it just my p/s or whatever belt that needs tightening?

 

power steering pump.
check power steering fluid level and fill if needed.
if it still makes the noise, replace the pump.

Cool, thanks. I'll check it out.

 

Also check your alternator belt.

Or a/c belt if you've ot one.

 

Could be any belt or pully under the hood to be honest. Don't rule anything out, it could be a tensionor for your timing belt as well. Not as likely as the power stearing or ac but its deffiently possible.
