when ever i start up my 84 733i i hear a whinning noise and a noise like it is being reved up while no one is toching the pedal and the power steering fluid is full but it is getting harder to steer. and my check oil and washer fluid lights are always on "thank you for anybody that can help"

Sounds to me like your power steering belt is slipping. Check and make certain that it is tight, as a loose belt will cause hard steering. You may have a bad oil sending switch. As for the washer fluid light, mine is always on too.
