Hello World! I recently got an oil change a few days to a week later i notice a whining noise, red fluid leaking. so i took it back to oil change place to make sure my fluids were full ,sure enough they were full. with that being said it is hard for me to turn the wheel now. After they check fluid I was told they seen a small leak of gas. It doesn't smell strong or leak bad. Any suggestions on what needs to be replaced.

Good morning,

The red fluid and the fact your steering is hard tells me the power steering fluid is leaking.

Take it to another shop and have them check the power steering for you as your low fluid level is causing the steering to be hard.
