        Sounds like it may be low on fluid or has air,check your hydraulic tank for fluid level and foaming

            Before I head home, if there is air in the line, what is the procedure for bleeding the hydraulic fluid, I am assuming basically the same a brakes for a car.

              The system is self bleeding. If you have air it is caused by a loose fitting, bad o-ring, something like that on the suction side.

              My 284 has a separate pump for the steering with a small reservoir in front of the radiator. The seals on the lines at the ram leak and every once in a while I get the same condition as you have, and top off the tank to fix.

                Hmmm, I have a similar problem on my 354.  I will have to look for the small tank in front of the radiator.
