Possible power steering pump failure?

Hi Guys,

I just went for a 10 min spin in the X and felt the steering being slightly heavy when turning left only, both in reverse and forward at crawl speed. I checked the tires (no issues) and looked for oil patch in the garage but nothing there, nor is the reservoir low on fluid. I don't have access to a lift until next week but wanted to get a head start and get a power steering pump ready if I have to. Anyone with advice on what this might be (if it's not what I'm suspecting it is)?

I'm converting the suspension next week and installing the Eonon Nav, hence the access to the lift.
