Checking the fluid level would be a great place to start.

check the tension of the belt too. when i was finished replacing the engine in my car took it for a test drive and had this PS, no PS pulse. turned out to be a lose belt.

Check belt / fluid level as already stated. If not, you may have a sticking valve in the pump, or even the steering gearbox.

Also check if either power steering fluid or coolant is leaking onto your belts and causing it to slip.
