Newbie here needs help with Belt noise and oil consumption

I'll probably just put some generic power steering fluid in to fix the problem (if it isn't the pump)

Gotta go back to my dealer once again
I mean what's next, I "if you decide to have a little fun in the back seat, make sure you and your partner have both consumed honda deneutralizer 24 hours prior to any activities. This will help reduce stains in your car. WARNING: only use honda brand deneutralizer as other products were not specifically made for your car's cloth interior. For leather interior, make sure to purchase the version specified for leather"
I could soo see honda pushing something like that if it made money lol

There some aftermarket companies that make Honda/Acura spec fluid. I've used Valvoline Honda/Acura fluid(I know it as part # HPS-12) for years. In fact I just got some yesterday, changing (supervising the work-oldest sons car) a leaking PS pressure hose this weekend.

lol, I didn't know that. I put prestone in my system, drained it 2 days later and put honda fluid in.
Now the prestone is sitting in a bucket in my garage
it seems the sound is gone, so most of my issues are now resolved...
I just need to get some p/s fluid. And then do the atf fluid change. Was too busy swapping the 4 tires off my sister's lease civic to put on my car. I didn't swap her rims with my tires yet, so I currently have 4 civic rims on my car, looks weird.
luckily her lease is up in 10 days, so they get my old (but usable) tires with just enough tread for a lease return

What I meant was that most are non-silicate. Pretty sure Prestone is non-silicate unless you used a 10-year-old bottle you had laying around. Look at the label on the bottle. "Hybrid OAT" is good.
Biggest thing to worry about is combining different types of corrosion packages. Best to rinse very thoroughly so you don't have to worry about what kind of stuff used to be in there.

I still have to re-arrange my tires a bit because one side is civic and the other is accord, but the civic rims are 205/55/16 and the accord rims.205/60/16. By the time I'm done, the front rims will be civic and the back accord (smaller rims in front for winter)
Of course this is all temporary until I still my laptop to get new rims and tires
