Default power steering chirp only on one side

I searched it but couldnt find anything. I figure its the pump or belt but i have a leak but it chirps when the fluids full. The steering only makes sounds when i turn to the left but not to the right. Does anyone have any ideas?

Find the leak, and let's hope it's not the steering rack.

Make sure the rack isnt rubbing on the body. If that isnt happening you probably have a binding tie rod or ball joint. You can feel the arms while turning the wheel making the noise. The one that vibrates the most is probably the culprit.

if this happens while you're turning in motion, could be your cv joint. check the boots and make sure they're not ripped. If this is at a standstill then... its properly a leak.
