Default power steering pump??

ive been finding my psp to be notchy past the last few days and i dont know why, the belt is at the right tension.

its becoming a bit dangerous as when i come out of junctions i naturally think the car will turn automaically like it used to. BUT no i have to pull the steering wheel in the right direction as i can feel it getting heavy.

any ideas before i rip the pump out and drive over it??

Have you checked the level in the reservoir ?
Can you see any leaks from anywhere ?
If the levels ok, and you cant see any leaks, I would try 1 of the breakers in the classified section before buying new.
