have you checked all the track rod ends and lubricated the steering Uj's in the engine bay to see if it makes a difference, also check how easy the front wheels are to turn when they are jacked up before writing off the pump

it doesnt, only looses it. check for fluid loss on the bottom arm of the steering pump as it might need a re-con or a new one
