I am having problem with my steering - can not keep the air pressure. It supposed to be 20 psi at all time, but I do not see any hydraulic fluid leaks. Oil level constant. The H-21 pump does make some noise but work. I have "hard time" to locate the reservoir - I think that there is my problem. I did replace the copper lines and bypass the auto pilot to eliminate the leak. It is 1973 Gulfstar 36. From what I read - the air pressure is there to keep any bubbles away, but should not affect the steering if the system is "tight". I got good steering from the bottom, but got sloppy from top.
