WHen replacing the water pump, did the fluid drain from the PS pump? If so it needs bled. Safely lift the front of the car, fill the PS fluid, with the engine off, slowly turn the steering wheel from full left to full right several times. Recheck the fluid level. IF it went down, refill and repeat until it stays full.

LEt me know if this helps.
