Almost sound like your rack and pinion cylinder has gone bad. I would start by cleaning the area real well to get rid of the oil. With the car running have someone sit inside and turn the wheels from left to right while you stand and watch to see if you can see oil leaking and from where and also to see if you can tell where the grinding is coming from. Please do not try to clean the engine with it running as you will get burned from heat and your clothes may become tangled in moving parts.
This could be caused by different things. It sounds like it may be your timing belt though. If you remove your drive belts (alternator, power steering and air conditioner belts), and then restart the vehicle, if the noise stops, then spin the pulleys you just removed the belts from, to see which one is making the noise. If the noise does not stop, then it is most likely the timing belt tensioner making all that noise and you will need to have the timing belt and associated parts, idler pulley/s, tensioner, water pump and seals replaced. Hope this helps. Have a nice day :O)
Your car can start if the alternator is making noise. It could be the bearings going out in the alternator, It could be the tension pulley for your belt. It could be a valve rattling but the sound could make you think it's coming from a different place. Sounds under a hood may sound like it's here, but it could be coming from there. Good Luck.
The belt is either glazed (old) or is loose, needs to be tightened. Your best bet is to buy a new belt and install it to the proper tension and your squeeks will be gone.
Noise could be the result of a dried out belt, a belt that needs adjustment or any one of the pulleys driven by the belt. The oil pump has nothing to do with the belt. Inspect it and try tightening it up a bit. If that does not help, remove the belt and check all the pulleys for noise and rough turning, replace the belt and re-tighten.
check for a siezed pully under the hood remove the belt and check to see all pullys spin free with no noise also check the AC clutch make sure it free spins.
you'll have to the belt if the belt is old. also, a temporary solution i learned that gets rid of some of the noise is to slowly pour a pitcher of water on the belt while the car is on.
it sounds like it your belts are slipping check adjustments if it has any not sure on this car if the belts are tight you can buy spray from a auto shop to stop the noise hope it helps
