Squeak from heater/blower

Hey all, wondering if anyone could help me?
I have an Ultima with CC and when I have the blower set in the first quarter of it's range (i.e. very slow to slow), I get a squeak from the blower/ducts. This also happens when the blower is set to auto and the fans slow down.
One other very wierd issue is that when the car has warmed up, I get a sound of what sounds like dead leaves blowing around in the air ducts but ONLY happens if I turn sharply left or right - weird huh?
Any ideas what might be causing either of these two issues and what I might try to resolve it. BTW, the clocks are coiming out on Friday to be replcaed with a new set, so I'll already have half the fascia off.
Many thanks.
Rob.

The Granada used to do that low speed squeek. If you can find a way to get to them, a little oil on the bearings fixes it for a while.
The rustling leaves noise (sounded like trickling water to me) might be the same one I found... I traced it to rubbing between trim panels of the dash assembly. Only seemed to happen at certain temperatures and placing a hand on a crtain spot on the dash would stop it.

I agree, happened on a couple of my past Granadas, I put up with it until I had to pull the last one apart then I did as harry said and oiled the bearings. Incedently a good grease is chain saw grease well worked in it stayed on mine for the rest of its life (40,000)
