When turning right, the steering wheel does not return to center when the turn is completed. ( you have to steer back to center )There is also a whinning noise whenever the steering wheel is turned either way. ( no whinning normally ). It is also at least twice as hard to turn the wheel as normal .Power steering pump? Rack?
Scott is correct I would start with fluid level but also check condition. Smell fluid for a burnt smell this would indicate a burnt out pump. Look for a grayish tint in the fluid which would indicate metal fragments in fluid. Two ways for this dip a white tissue or cloth in the Reservoir or look in reservoir.
Hi. If steering fluid is ok I'd look at pump.

check your power steering belt. it may have broke or slipped off the pulley. if it seems ok check your fluid level. if it is still at normal operating level for hot or cold then your power steering pump may have just seized up and you may have to replace it.

The pump has an inlet hose and return hose. Do you know where the return hose is on the pump. Disconnect this hose and stick it in a clear container. have someone start the engine and see if fluid runs into the container. Let me know the results.
