Alright, i need help from the T4R Gods. Tonight i was playing in the mud with the 4runner and I cut a donut while i was in 4Lo. When i was done i noticed the steering became stiff. I pulled it out of 4wd and that didnt help. Popped the hood and the power steering resovoir was low, not empty but low and fluid was on the side of the engine bay. Went and bought some fluid filled her up and it stays full and is not leaking that i can tell but the pump is not working, you can hear it making noise when trying to turn and steering is stiff. Any idea what happened or how to fix? Seal inside the pump? Any help would be appreciated.

Update

thought I would update the thread for future searches. I took the truck into the shop and the power steering pump was shot. Toyota could not give me any explanation. So, $653.00 later the truck is fixed and back on the road.
