When you say: If you had needed help,... -> This action is ALREADY OVER When you say: If you need help,... -> This can STILL HAPPEN. It is possible to get the help. Do you understand? :)

"If you had needed help": It is in the past. It is a question for concluded actions. "If you need help": It is the present. It is a question for current actions. I think.
