Overfulll or needs bleeding. Check the level when hot, and siphon out fluid if it is overfull. To bleed out any trapped air, with the engine running, turn the steering wheel back and forth, stop to stop, until all air is removed.

Why is there a squeaking noise when you turn the steering wheel?
Well if it is something that gets louder or more noticeable the more you turn the wheel, there's a good chance it's you power steering pump. Check the level of your power steering fluid and fill it to the proper level with the appropriate fluid. (some manufacturers say to use power steering fluid, some say A.T.F. automatic transmission fluid) but it should say right on the cap of the power steering fluid reservoir. If you can't find it go to the nearest auto parts store and someone there should be able to show you which one it is.
