"Brake" warning but things apparently fine

One thing I forgot to mention in my first post: I had the steering
pressure hose rebuilt a few months ago and I think the restrictor is the
wrong size, because the steering groans now as it moves.

And... another I must admit: the PS pump does have a slow leak, which
it's had for nearly two years. I rebuilt the pump but it still leaks a
little between the halves.
