My peugot has started to creak and squeak when I am turning its much worse when I am going slow. It sounds like its coming from the front of the car near the steering column. I do not know much about cars and would appreciate any advice anyone can give me, as when I take it to the garage next month, I would love not to get ripped off again!!It has recently started to leak oil quite badly. I have stopped driving it untill its fixed as I have no clue how serious it could be.Thyank you in advance for any suggestions.

you need to check where this oil is coming from. if its from the power assisted steering, then this needs looking at.... you can check this phyicaly, and look at the PAS oil level. if the oil is from there, it can mean the rack needs replacement, or what is more likely a rubber hose or seal needs replacement.

on the other hand, the oil could be coming from the engine, gearbox or braking system.. again you should be able to see the problem. if the oil is from any of these it means you have 2 problems not one.

in saying th above, really sounds to me that your PAS has a problem. this would account for the oil and the sounds.
