Front squeak

I have a 1989 Mini 30 LE, in reasonably sound condition, which I use on a semi-regular basis. It is still going strong on the original engine and gearbox after 110,000 miles. Recently it has developed a very annoying squeak from the driver's side over even the smallest undulation. I have sprayed the damper mounts and the spring with WD40
