I think there is a power steering problem in my car. It is getting really hard to turn it at times, you kind of have to pull it down and it used to just happen when it rained, but now it happens all the time. I think it might need a new pump, but I have't check the fluid yet. Is there anyway I can find out like a rough estimate if it is pump? I don't care if it's off by a couple hundren. Just general range, like a couple hundred, more than 500, and so on. Thanks

  2.5 hours for labor. the pump is anywhere from 79 - 250. make sure they flush the system out as well.
