Yes i have done checks...there are no fluid links anywhere and the pump is still full..my guess is that the pump shat itself, can anyone confirm this?

OK you confirmed there are no leaks and the system is full of fluid now----With engine on and in park(P)---while trying to turn the wheel in either direction do you hear any noises??
