It could be down to the belt. Get it changed or tightened and see how it is.

Power steering is belt driven so may well be a slack belt or low on oil, but as you mention a metalic noise check the bottom pulley as i suspect it may have failed

Thank you so much, the oil in slave cylinder was way low, I also tightened all 3 belts, the steering corrected and the squealing stopped, I also felt the car was pulling and performing better, I will have to change the twin belts soon as the castillian ridges on the underside are missing/tornaway in parts. again, appreciate your help.
