Need Help, G37 Convertible Power Steering Issues

Hello all,

Yesterday morning I got into my g37 convertible coupe for work and the wheels wouldn't turn. My first thought was that the power steering was somehow frozen as it was the first freezing morning of winter down here. I thought that maybe I was just low enough on fluid that when the freezing temperature hit it basically contracted the fluid below an operable level. I checked the fluid after the car had been off for a while and the fluid was right on the cold level mark. The serpentine belt is also in tack as well as the hose from the fluid reservoir to the the pump. I am not sure what else to check and I was hoping someone could help give me some advice. I wanted to try and get some info before i had to go to the dealership and just have them spin me a bunch of stuff. Thanks in advance for any bit of advice.

Were the wheels unable to turn at all or was it just really hard to move the wheel? Did you notice a whining noise (or any other unusual noise) from the engine bay? Any fluid on the ground underneath your car or down on the splash shield / undertray?

The wheels are able to turn, but with great difficulty at low speeds, like a golf cart. There is also no whining coming from the engine area. Nor do I see anything leaking from under the car.

UPDATE: This morning my car would not start at all. It just sat there clicking and never would turn over.
