As we speak, my power steering pump is being replaced; at the end of
life it was exhibiting these symptoms in addition to whining during
tight turns. So if it isn't the belt, it could be internal.
My mechanic gave me a heads-up to expect a failure at least 100,000
miles ago (I'm up to 230,000) because he found metal shavings in the
power steering fluid. So that may be something else to check for at
home. If you don't see any visible, maybe go fishing with a magnet...
