Weird steering noise

Hey gang, just when you think all is well and your Dak is doing just
fine..... something has to creep up on you! Actually in this case "creak".
Today as I was pulling out of my driveway to go to work I notice a somewhat
loud creak as I was turning the steering wheel (about a 90 degree turn from
dead center) It makes that noise when I turn it either way. I have no idea
what to do. I looked under the hood, and got a look underneath the truck
will my wife turned the wheel, but I could not locate the source of the
creak. I did notice however that the truck squeaks very loud when you push
down on the bumper (think old spring mattress). Could it be low on
powersteering fluid? How would I check that? I have not noticed any fluid
leaks on my driveway. The Dak's got about 16500 miles on her. Any pointers
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
