i would just flush it and put new fluid in.

No strange noises?

So you have the wheel cranked all the way over for a decent amount of time cuz thats pretty hard on the pump you could have damaged it.

+1 the user manual says not to keep your wheel turned all the way in one direction for more than 5 seconds or it can damage your power steering pump. However, that being said, I would bet flushing the system and getting new fluid will fix your problem.
