I could toss out a few ideas, but it may be best to call a pro. Dick Ross at Firm Feel is a pretty sharp guy.

sounds like your pump is heading south, I had a vehicle come into work last week did the same thing...except it was a 1 ton truck and they lost the hydroboost for the brakes also...saginaw pump failed

In some cases the fluid gets too hot and the pump quits working. I added a power steering cooler to the Charger after this happened.
I had a worn out 71 Chevy truck that had an intermittent power steering "system" What a TURD ! It would ofter fail at low rpms while making U turns. I changed the pump TWICE and the problem persisted. I think in that case, the steering box itself was AFU.
