Squeak squeak from power steering area
Yesterday while idling in the waiting line at PCA AutoX, I noticed the car was squeaking from the front end. Got down there to listen and look, and it appears to be coming from the power steering. Belt, or pulley, I don't know.
Don't know when the belt was last changed. But, pushing on the belt when the car is off you can hear it creak a bit. Belt is not squealing like a stuck pig. Whatever it is, it's just a "squeaksqueak" Most likey just an old belt in need of replacement?  Or could the pump be on it's way out?  Any way to test the pump?
