Default I'm worried about the ute......

Had a bit of a worrying experience on the way home tonight - ute really didnt want to go over about 3000rpm unless it was pushed very hard - a lot harder than usual. It also felt like it was losing power steering ability as the steering became a bit "harder" around the same time.

The only thing it has had done to it was an oil change yesterday which was done with correct oil and filter - nothing else was touched. Ive checked the drive belt - is fine, power steering fluis level is fine, and the rack isnt making any unusual noises when i turn it. There's also no drips of fluid anywhere that I can see, although I am going to leave it in the same spot overnight and see if there is anything underneath tomorrow.

When I got home I parked it and just gradually increased throttle, and it did rev freely. No unusual noises or behaviour either.

Not quite sure what to do now, but if it is still the same in the morning I will get it checked out ASAP. In the meantime, any suggestions on what it might be, or what I should do/check?

Thanks
