The air in the system may be contributing to the noise, pump may or may not be shot.
If you find that the source of the leak is one of the rubber hoses, note that you can have them rebuilt (rubber part replaced, new metal clamps) at a "hydraulic shop". I had both of my hoses redone for about $70, shop claims that the hose they use is better than OEM, this is their main business. If you need to replace the rack, you may want to do this preemtively as it's easier to install a rack with the hoses already attached (no chance of stripping the connector at the rack).
