The steering has a TON of play in it and when you go to turn, you have to crank and crank. It's getting freer everyday. Is this a low fluid issue maybe?
Let's start with the basics - who is the manufacturer of the system? Do you have any visible leaks? Do you have a reservoir? Check behind the helm and look for some drips there. While back there write down the make and model of the unit for reference.
Let us know what you find.
p.s. where in S. FL are you located?
