HELP - brake problem '08 F250

Power steering started getting stiff when brakes were applied a couple months ago. Driving home today my brake pedal depressed fully to the floor and I had to pump it, once I came to a stop it'd jump forward a bit with a kick. Fluid is leaking and it looks like the caliper has somehow receded. Left front wheel only.

The two are probably related. I would almost be certain you have hydroboost brakes.

Check your power steering level. See if you need to add some fluid to start with. Then work on the leaks.
