You need to add some left power steering fluid.

Sorry.

I would be very concerned of a mechanical binding of sterring/suspension components. If you jack the front end up, see if it moves easier or you can move the wheels by hand. See if there is any play in the wheels. IF nothing is obvious, disconnect the outer tie rod ends and turn each front wheel (not spin them around) and see which side is binding or not.
