Default P/S Pump Problem

A couple days ago the output line from the reservoir to the P/S pump began to deteriorate and leak fluid. I noticed a whining noise from under my hood which prompted me to open the hood observe the leak and narrow the noise down to the P/S pump. At the same time I also noticed air bubbles in the P/S reservoir. I replaced both the input and output lines from the P/S pump and the noise continues from the P/S pump and the air bubbles remain in the reservoir. The noise does go away after the car has been driven around a little but yet can be heard slightly at lower speeds.
I have attempted to bleed the lines by jacking the car up and moving the steering wheel from far left to right and then back again, repeating this process several times. No air bubbles are noticed during this procedure, but there is a slight increase in fluid when I get to the far right or left, but nothing in between.

Does anyone have any suggestions or help?
