I lost my powersteering first - that got me to open up the hydrolic
reservoir for the first time in 5 years.   I I pumped the pedal a bunch of
times, It was down about 3 inches, so pulled the suction hose & drained it,
checked the filters ,  replaced the paper 857???384 filter and topped it up
with Dexron III.   The woody bottom filter looked ok.    After that on the
roadtest the power assist for the brakes also disappeared 90% of the time.  
So I've driven it here and there but no improvement.  Any ideas if I need a
bomb or new pump?
I haven't noticed any big leaks.   The PS rack boot is torn.
