Default power steering squeel

hey i have a 01 silverado 1500 and the power steering has been squealing lately but only when i turn the wheel to the right and only at speeds over like 15 mph. i doesn't do it at slow speeds, or when the wheel is str8 or taking a left turn.

Is it full of fluid? When they're low they tend to squeal
