My power steering is fine when I start the car in the morning and drive for some distance, then after awhile it'll get tighter and finally becomes like a non-powersteering car. When I take a full turn when the car is in idle, it turns extremely hard, but when I give the car gas it starts to turn more freely, respectively. My car is a Honda City 1.5exi 2001 model.

1When you're sitting in idle and try to turn the wheel, does the engine making a squealing noise?– MooseLuciferCommented Sep 26, 2016 at 13:35

If the belt isn't squealing (indicating slippage), and the fluid isn't low, and there isn't any grinding (from rack&pinion system), then it sounds like the power steering pump is failing as CharlieRB suggested.

Check that the fluid level isn't low and that the drive belt is tight.

I've been checking frequently,fluid level is fine, recently i've fixed all the leakages,the same issue was there before i fixed leaks and the mechanic told me that the tight will get free gradually.but it doesn't– AnzCommented Sep 26, 2016 at 13:34
