E270 steering groans

[Al Smith]

Hoping someone can give me an idea of the possible problem and remedy for a steering issue, When the car is moved out of the garage in the morning and the steering put on approx half lock it sounds in pain....groaning ,moaning ,squeaking on either lock for a couple of minutes, then it disappears until the following morning. I'm obviously thinking power steering problem but have no idea what the extent of the problem is or it's remedy. Any thoughts gratefully accepted.
