Between drives today my steering started being very heavy. Can still steer, but with more effort. Any suggestions?

Checked manual. Couldn't find anything on pump or where to check fluids. Looked under hood. Didn't see reservoir for pump

It is hidden by one of the air-ducting tubes to the air filter on the left side (driver side on LHD vehicles). Remove the left side black air duct and you will see the power steering reservoir.

Thanks for the help, found the pump and was down on fluid even though no signs of a leak.
