take the belt off and pull on the ps pump pulley, if it comes out with a chunk of the pump shaft you need a new pump. even if the hydro boost unit went bad you should still have power steering. since the fluid is still full i would suspect the pump and the pump alone.

Fixed. Turns out it was a loose hose. After examining it again I double checked the power steering fluid and noticed that it was empty. The first time I checked it it was dark. That's when it happened. Tightened the hose with some clamps and refilled her back up. Running like a dream again. Thanks everyone for your help!!!
