The fluid level is always ok on it though. So I dont think I'm losing fluid. At least not at a noticeable rate.

I had that exact problem 03/12! Make sure your belts are lined up. Mine was squealing so bad I didn't even want to drive it to work. I looked around a little bit and made sure my belts were tight when I noticed it. I had been driving it for a week like that. Hope this helped.

Well I gave it a thorough once over again and found a piece of junk stuck in the travel slot that the bolt goes through in the power steering bracket. It kept me from tightening it up all the way thus causing belt squeal... I also ran a file across the pulleys as they were super polished and letting it slip.

Thanks for the time and suggestions all. Mystery solved.

ON the plus side that means money can go to fun stuff now!
