Default Power steering still squeeks.

I posted a thread a while back about my noisy P/S. I used a turkey baster to suck fluid out and put new fluid in. I did this many times until the fluid looked cleaner. Now instead of a 'groaning' noise I have a high-pitch squeal but it only makes this noise when I turn the steering wheel to the left. Any new suggestions? I want to avoid replacing it unless it breaks.

could be a loose serpentine belt. or an old serpentine belt. check your belt, it might have some play in it.

Sometimes. It's actually sporadic, sometimes it squeals when I turn left.... other times it doesn't.
