leaky power steering

[otis]

Just need to add. If I let go of the wheel while moving, the car tends to steer to the right. Tires have newly been aligned.

if you have no power assist in one direction only, have the valve body of the assembly checked or cleaned. you may have some sticky valve inside that prevents some pressurized fluid from going to the side of the hard steer.

this may actually become some sort of an overhaul of the rack and pinion assembly since you are going to open up the assembly.

i think the pump is ok as what the other said.
