Since the steering is really heavy, and the fluid is red, it is probably a power steering leak, and the most likely fault is a burst hose. If it is you will need to replace it and top up the system. Just turning the steering from side to side afterwards will bleed the system. Level should be checked with engine idling. As these hoses can be very expensive, there is a cheaper way - contact me directly if you need help.
