Change the fluid. Put in a quality synthetic power steering fluid.

I had a return line rust out.It leaked very little but would let air in and cause hard steering and foamy oil.

Sounds like air in the system.

Jack it up, remove the cap, and have someone slowly turn the wheels from lock to lock, back and forth, over and over, SLOWLY, while you monitor the fluid level and keep it topped off.

If the problem returns, then you need to find the air leak.
