Power Steering Fluid Low

Hi there,
I just discovered low power steering fluid in our 2000 2.3lpt wagon. Vehicle manual and Hayes book both list SAAP part number (CHF11) as the fluid type. Is there an off-the shelf substitute that can be used in that system (AutoZone, Napa, O'Rayleys are the national chains here)?
Secondly, the pump has been making noises for some time now (less than a month) when I looked into reservoir, it shows a some fluid still there but less than prescribed amount. When running, the fluid is foaming, and has a color of Guiness Stout. Should I just add new fluid, or should I replace all in the system? What is the capacity? Do I need to worry about the pump replacement now or just wait and see if it fails? System has no major leaks that I can find without taking off plastic covers under the engine. Car had 30K service done at delearship under waranty about a year ago, but now has ~43K miles.
Thanks in advance for advice.
Jerzy
