power steering burp

Today I found that my 07 crew cab 6.0 was "burping power steering fluid. It looks like it is coming out of the top of the reservoir. It has also started when you hit the brake quick, the peddle seems to puch back. The drivers side front brake is a little sticky and doesnt release all of the ways sometimes. I am not sure if the to symptoms are related or not. Any and all help is appreciated.

I had a similar experience when my Hydroboost tube fitting was leaking and letting air into the system. Per a Ford TSB, I replaced the Hydroboost tubing as opposed to retightening it, replaced the power steering fluid, and everything went back to normal. The part was about $45 from Ford, I did the labor myself.
