Well, check the fluid by torch, or even better, a conveniently placed streetlight, or headlight? If its not the level of fluid, it may be a power steering pump, or possibly rack.

yeh belts are all right (no slipping or ware)
and theres no noise, which is whats confusiong me.
im thinking its a bearing or seal thats putting resistance on the colum and making it harder 2 turn.
