weird problem

Hello again, well I replaced the steering gear box, now much better but getting new problem, steering goes hard to turn and bring it baack on and off, I noticed that hoses are leaking (not sure which one is pressure and return) I'm thinking of go ahead and replace them, (plus previous owner weleded the door hinge which broke off I have to weld it again) and going on180k now, thinking about letting her go as well in few month when I have enough money saved up to buy new one. If you are around NY area interested, let me know.
