Screaming Steering Rack

just finally got my 86 9000 T (143000 miles) back into driving
condition...after some work and a few days of Intalian Tune up, it is as
strong as ever (most of the time) ( and such a relief from the volvo 240 i
had been driving).

however, as i began to drive it, all the steering fluid came out from
somewhere.  after i bought more fluid and put it in , the sterring assist
came back with no problems for the first few minutes.  After that, it began
SCREAMING when turning the wheel.  Also, assist is now a sporadic benefit
of the system...sometimes it comes on , bringing strong and perilous
oversteer.

The fluid I bought was from NAPA, which sold only one formulation (not the
GM sterring fluid strictly called for in the manual).  Is there a
difference between GM fluid and others ?  Has anyone ever heard of a
sterring system making such loud, high-pitched whirring sounds ?

thank you very much.
