Squeaking When Turning The Wheel

So it just started happening yesterday. If I'd turn my wheel (to the right mostly), I would hear a slight squeaking sound coming from my driver's side wheel area. I'm gonna take a look tomorrow, but anyone have a guess what I might want to look for? Does not affect driving/performance whatsoever.

check your power steering hose/tube/whatever it's called... maybe it's being "squashed" as you are turning the wheel?

Look to see if you have PS fluid or engine oil eaking on any of the steering components or sway bar. My back valve cover is leaking slightly and eventually makes it's way down to the passenger side steering arm and sway bar. Makes a squeaking noise like no other. I just cleaned up the oil and gritty mess and the noise is gone.

i also have a squeaky noise coming from the front left wheel, but it comes at rather strange times

-only happens at speeds ranging from 40 km/h to 80km/h, the faster i go the faster the noise gets but then after 80 it dissapears completely

-on rainy days or just on random it doesnt happen, for example this week ive been driving everyday and it has not happened the last three days

-does happen while turning right or left, but i am not sure if it happens more or less, just still sqeaks

WHAT DO I DO ? i know i should take the wheel off and see whats rubbing, but i dont get why it dissapears at near highway speeds
