Unhappy Help my scoob is poorly.....

Hey guys
Need some advice each time I start my car the power steering goes really heavy for a whilst I am warming it up and if I turn the steering when stationary in the wet it squeaks like mad not sure if they are linked sorry proper noob. Any advice what it could be checked the level of power steering fluid and looks ok ?! Drive my car maybe one or twice a month bit sure that this helps as use my scooter daily for work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Kris

Check it first, mine had split down the length (oo err) and was in effect three separate belts!
