First thing is to determine if it's the pump or the steering gear.
To test the pump you'll need to remove the pressure hose and install a high pressure gauge. Not sure what the pressure should be but I'm guessing 800 to 1000 lbs.
If you don't have the means to do this, the official "redneck get er done" method would be to clamp down on the pressure hose with vice grips and listen for the pump to build pressure. But, you might ruin the hose doing this, your call. You'll definitely feel the hose build pressure and hear the engine slow, or the belt slip if it's belt driven. Be careful!!!
If no pressure the pump is bad.
If it does build pressure, the problem is in the steering gear. Probably an internal leak or the directional valve is bad. Either way the gear will need to be removed and dissembled. It is repairable but you'll need a manual and some pullers and snap ring pliers.

Flax provided the fibre which w
