Default squeak squeak when turning steering wheel

I had the Lexus dealer repair my air conditioning system, which included the replacement of the A/C compressor, evacuator tank, high and low pressure lines from the compressor, and the A/C compressor belt.

Since then, I've noticed that turning the steering wheels (usually while moving slowly or not at all), there is a squeaking noise.

I should also mention that when I took it in to the Toyota dealer for an oil change, they informed me that I should flush the brake and power steering fluids, since they were dirty.

Any idea what is causing the noise? I would take it back to the dealer, but I'm nearly 1000 miles away.

Thanks,
-Brian.

if its a whining squeaking then yeah, its the power steering, check if your fluids are low.
