dishwasher pump problem?

The dishwasher in our house is at least 15 years old. These days when we start it there isn't the immediate spray of water. I watched it with the door open and it takes a dozen or so restarts to get the spray going. If we leave it on the water dribbles from the nozzles. After a few minutes there's a burning smell. So now we've taken to priming it with a dozen or so starts. When water sprays with force we add soap and let 'er rip.

Any ideas what I should check? Worn pump? Leak in the supply line? OVP relay?

Thanks,
