If you are adding an ounce of brake fluid, then that is the first issue that needs to be addressed. Clearly this is not a good thing because if that leak gets worse it could cause you to have no brakes one day while you are driving.

More than likely you have a wheel cylinder in the rear that is leaking so you may have to remove the drum to find the leak.

So, I attached the info below that will help with this.

As for the squeaking, if it is during a turn then it is most likely part of the steering system or the axles/hubs.

Here are a couple guides that will help with that, but I would start with the brake fluid issue and go from there.
