Default Lost of power steering on wrx??

I was in Chicago a few days ago being a dumbass (drifting in the snow) and now my power steering isnt work well. It's not low on fluid and it appears to be no leaks in the system. at an idle it doesn't work at all, but if I give it some throttle it gets better. A buddy of mine said "a bubble in the system maybe?"

What should I do?

If there is a bubble just take the top off of the power steering reservoir, start your car and turn the wheel all the way to the left and then right. This will push any air out

according to nasioc.com definitely a blown power steering pump, very common in subies when dumbshits do donuts in the snow
