Stiff Steering - already done a search!

[stevo69]

My steering has started to play up and ive had a look at all the other posts. What a need to know is where is the UV joint that may need lubricating? And also where is the power steering pump - i want to try and check it out myself before i take it to an Indie. I am leaking PS fluid from somewhere (few drops per night) but im keeping it topped up so i dont think thats the reason for the stiff steering unless it isnt reaching somewhere its supposed to??

The UJ is just behind the wheel on the drivers side, you can see it easily with a bit of lock on. the PAS is the third stage of the oil/water/pas pump on the drivers side of the engine tucked in down low.
