powersteering problems

ok everyone, itook the fc out since cold weather stops and its haveing a power steering problem, it turn like manual steering. I check fluid and it was low, so i refilled and i didnt see any leaks, it was making a loud screechin noise when i moved the wheel. after i filled it up it sorta stop but was making a loud knocking noise and a while of driving around the corners the knocing went a way but the hard steering and screechin came bak. im thinking power steering pump is shot.

Probably the pump, that'll be the belt slipping on the pully that you hear.

+1 on the belt slipping. did you check all your lines make sure nothings leaking? i had the same problem, but mine was pretty straight forward, i got sprayed in the face when i first got my FC with a brused line.
