Question about hydraulic steering ?

when the wheel is turned to the right, the motor takes a few seconds to start turning. As the steering warms up ( is used more ) the delay goes away. Any ideas as to what to look for / at ? I was going to have the marina check it out, but I wouldn't mind fixing it on my own and saving the dough, thanks for any ideas, Bob C.

Make it idiot proof, and someone will make a better idiot.
