It makes a squealing noise when turning left or right.

Hard to tell from the top two pics as their so close to the subject. Bottom pic looks like a rack and pinion boot and a tie rod.

They're all the same Pic. I just was further back on that one Pic. It makes a noise when driving and turning left and right. If I'm sitting idle, it don't make a noise when turn.

Make sure your power steering fluid is topped off. If that doesn't help then it's probably time for a new or rebuilt rack and maybe a pump too.

the part that is leaking is your Right front inner power steering rack seal. I see wet inner tie rod bellows.
Your CV axle is forward of steering rack and looks ok.
