Thank you for all the suggestions.
Checked the fluid level again this morning and discovered it was down a bit but still on the dipstick. Topped it up again and ran the car - success.
Sounds like air was in the system and has taken some time to circulate out - steering no longer whines and is smooth.
Although there are no visible leaks, I have some Lucas stop leak on order as well to see if that helps with keeping it smooth.
