In making a turn into a restaurant, the steering became very difficult. Upon leaving the restaurant, when the car was restarted, the power steering was normal. This happened again the next day when turning into a gas station. When the car was restarted, the power steering returned to normal. Fluid level in the reservoir was then checked and found to be low. Anyone got any ideas on what the problem is?
