I searched around and didn't find any solutions to this so here goes. Awhile back I noticed that when I hit a speed bump the front suspension would squeak. It wasn't bad at first but it's gotten a lot worse, just one of those things that nags you. Now whenever i turn the steering wheel there is a horrible squeaky/grindy noise. not sure how to describe it. it is worse when i turn to the left. Also today i put some grease on bushings and such and it didn't get rid of it. when i had the truck jacked up i turned the wheel to full lock both ways and noticed a good bit of power steering fluid dripping down and found that the lid was popped open which was definitely shut properly last time i checked the fluid. Also now when i turn the truck to the left, the steering is kind of jerky, mostly when im going slow. Thoughts? Power steering pump dead (or going dead at least)? Thanks for the help, sorry for the long post
