This wonderful opportunity to impoverish yourself?  Was there a minus
sign in front of the $?

Fluid (G 002 000, Pentosin, whatever) should only come along that pipe
when the brake pedal is released - used hydraulic assist fluid returning
to the reservoir.  The other routes - overpressure bleedoff and used
steering assist fluid - have their own routes.  If you get more than
a _very_ few drops out of the upper hose, there's a leak in the
servo.
