which is not completely unusual - this is what happens when pumps start to wear, the noise is "cavitation", i.e. air getting in.
Your next task is to find the source of the leak, which considering the volume of fluid that it's using should be fairly easy, despite the gooey mess under your car. You may want to take it to a self-spray car wash and clean it up to make finding the leak easier. Pay particular attention to the rack and the hoses (particularly the hose ends), especially the high pressure hose going from the pump to the rack. Best possible outcome is that a hose is shot or the reservoir tank is cracked. If it's the rack, you can replace it yourself (I did, it's a pain but do-able) and rebuilt units are cheap.
