Default How stiff should P/S pump be 1991 EX???

Hi,
While replacing my Radiator and fans and belts on my 1991 EX I noticed that my P/S pump was very stiff to turn by hand, almost notchy.
I get a short burst of squeal in the morning(3 seconds) good belts, tensioned correctly....Everything else spins freely except the P/S pump rather stiff...
My question is the pump usually stiff or should I be able to spin it with my fingers???
I did loose a line a while back(10k miles),replaced the line bleed it out with correct fluid,wouldn't be surprised if pump was on way out...
Any thoughts?

Thank You in advance.

sounds like it's going bad to me. It should spin freely by hand
