--DISCLAIMER-- Ok not very good at explainig and dont mind my spelling english is my second lenguage,i can talk and read but i cant speell.

ok so i did my oil change a few moths ago and the guy told me something about fixing something that he saw while he was underneath the car, it was with regards to the right fornt tire. now i took a look and nothing seems wrong, and i asked him at the time if it was serious and he said no but you need to have it fixed cause in the long run its gona be a biger problem(i thought he waas chasing for more money in bugus repairs), so afcourse me beeing broke and not lisening to him i did not get a second opinion. now i am even more broke than before and when i go to back up the car out of the parking lot the steering wheel seemd very heavy and hard to turn for like the first 1 and 1/2 turns like when it is off and you put in neutral to try to move it. so i tried a few more times and it did it again and again but when i left off to work and was driving dow the street it was fine. its the third time it happends now in the last tow days. so i am gessing it haves to do with the power steering so i cheked the fluid level and it is fine its full and its no leaking from waht i can see. so now i cant take it to the mechanic cause i have no meoney and i dont know what its is, if i knew what it was i could do it myself with help of a friend, but we looked and lokked and didnt see anithing wrong. i am gessing its the pum for the fluid, or some hose that is messed up.
has it happend to anyone else before? any suggestions? i know it sound kinda of wierd and stupid but it happend just like i told you. thanks in advance
