Since you were low, have you noticed a leak? It there any fluid leaking that would lead you to the source of a leak? It's possible your PS pump is going or has gone south.
Check the area around the reservoir and pump and check the rack as well.

Is it just reduced assist when not moving, or all the time?
If all the time, then check the pump, also can unplug the connector to rack and should get full assist all the time.
