The check valve would be my second stop. My first (based on 3 years
of screwing around with it) is the tubing that connects the jets
underneath the hood. Mine were just short enough that they pulled
out of the jet attachments a little bit, and half the fluid dribbled
out, dropping pressure.

If neither of these pans out (and the jets aren't clogged; use a
small needle), a new pump is about $20 or so.
