Bleeding/Missing Tech help

Are you saying when the steering is assisted properly, you have no brake
assist, and when the braking is assisted properly, you have no steering
assist?  And it will vary from one to the other?  Did you check the
hydraulic system oil level?  It's supposed to be between the high and low
marks on the reservoir when the system is warmed completely (as in after
half an hour of driving or so) sitting on flat ground with the engine
idling.  The bleeding process for the system is to elevate the front wheels
so you can make several rapids swings of the steering from full lock left
to full lock right with the engine powering the pump.
