The old fluid may not help. But I am going to bet you need a new steering rack. Of course, for the price of steering pumps, it wouldn't hurt to replace that as well.

But the "morning sickness" sounds like a rack issue to me. The longer you put it off, the worse it is going to be for the pump to struggle.
