I've had a squeak from the steering when turning, for a while now. Not related to power steering, or to engine temps. It didn't happen when cold but came on when the engine bay was warm or the outside air temp was warm.
Anyway to cut a long story short after a lot of research and listening, it was the suspension
strut top end, similar to what's described here.

I sprayed a MASSIVE amount of silicone lubricant into where the strut top end mount is in the engine bay, a black stretched plastic cone type thing, and this has solved the issue.
It was difficult to localise as the sound travelled down the strut so seemed first of all as if it was one of the bushes lower down.
Good to get done as although not serious it was spoiling the enjoyment of the car
Thought I'd post it for info, as it can happen on any car.
