Thier are two main problems with my 1986 nissan sport truck. What part do I have to buy to fix the transmission fluid from leaking? And my truck makes a squeaky sound when I drive it, what is the cause?

Without knowing where the leak is coming from, it is not possible to tell you what part to porchase.

Were is the squeaky noise coming from? When does it occur? Is it related to vehicle speed or suspension movement? Engine related?

It sounds like its coming from the belt, but im not sure. My neighbor says it might be engine related though. And now my trucks power steering isn't working.

The power steering not working indicates a possible fault with the drive belts which are the most common cause of squeaky noise.

Check the drive belt tension and movements when engine is running. Ensure there is sufficient fluids in the power steering reservoir.
