It's probably the grommet in the firewall. The steering shaft rubs on it and makes a squeaking noise. Get yourself some silicone lubricant, it's a bit hard to get down in there to apply however. Silicon spray will also work, but it won't last as long.

Also, check the tension on the power steering belt. Belts tend to lose tension as it ages. A loose belt will make this squeaking sound. It's pretty simple to adjust the tension. If it's an older belt, put a new one in.

+1. I had the same squeak issue (not a belt squeal) and lubricating that grommet fixed it...for now.
