Steering System Maintenance???

Was cruising along today with the autopilot doing it's thing when I thought I noticed that the hydraulic system controlling the rudders was making a little more noise than usual. Nothing bad sounding, maybe a tad squeaky, like it needed lubrication possibly. I haven't found anything on the maintenance for the steering system (mine is a relatively new Lagoon 380, built in 2013). Is there anything I should be doing? Any lubricant that I should use? I couldn't find any after searching the interwebs.

Thanks in advance.

Do not lube the piston arm. If it has any dust on it you can wipe it down with a clean microfiber cloth. And then use a PTFE spray.
