You need to have your power steering looked at. You can make sure the power steering fluid is full, first.

turn it on for ten min. the theft light will stay on then without turning ignition off just start worked for my cavalier
SOURCE: Squeak and slight vibration heard and felt in steering column at low speeds (Parking lots, etc)
Get a friend to turn wheel back and forth in the garage, get on the ground and use your hands to feel where the noise is coming from. Metal gives off a significant amount of vibrations with noise. Should be easy to tell where it's coming from. Could be your rack and pinion, however I would be much more willing to consider ball joints. Hard to tell without getting "down and dirty" on the floor under the vehicle feeling for the noise.
Could be your steering gearbox, tierod end, rack and pinion piston, low power steering fluid, bad serp belt, ball joints, front struts/mounting hardware.
Also test steering with the entire vehicle on the floor and with the front end off the ground lifted by a few floor jacks lifting on the frame of the vehicle.
Ball joints especially on Ford vehicles tend to squeak after a while (mostly since they are the sealed type) even if they pass a safety inspection.

the voltage regulator is built into the altenator if the vehicle runs fine after jumping it it may be the battery or a bad connection at battery there may also be a draw on the battery

Try checking with scrap yards first. They also have crossover books that can tell what other motors use the same cover. If you know someone who works at a scrap yard they may be willing to look it up and tell you. You could also try kijiji. I have had fair luck cleaning up the old cover, gently tapping the pieces back in place and using JB Weld on the outside. Use brake cleaner or something like it to remove all trace of oil before you try this. It may still leak but it usually is only a few drops. Hope this will help.

sounds like the drive belt is loose or the pump is not developing enough pressure at low speed.
Check the tension of the belt that drives the PS pump, since it is working at higher revs, which points to this type of problem. The belt should be quite stiff and possible to push it maybe a half inch in the middle of the longest run. Any more means it is too slack.
Tensioning may involve loosening the pump mount bolts and swinging the pump away from the engine till the belt is firm, and tightening the bolts.
Overtightened belts can wear bearings out prematurely though, don't go nuts with the tension!
If the belt is ok, and you aren't losing fluid, the pump is on its way out, or the rack seals are bypassing fluid back to the pump too quickly.
