Good chance #1 is low power steering fluid. Pain in the a$$ to get to (have to put the top in service mode) so most people don't check it and let it run low. Time consuming, but easy and inexpensive fix.

NOTE: any fluid in a Porsche is probably special. Don't fill a Porsche with any fluid you have sitting in your garage, including antifreeze. Check first what it requires. Porsches use Pentosin CHF 11s power steering fluid, which can be purchased at most auto parts stores.

Also a good chance the brake fluid needs flushing.

And here's a suspicion on those additional 30K mi.
