Denatured power steering fluid

I recently changed the power starring reservoir, pump and fluid as there was a juddering when steering whilst stationary and a leak.

A few months hence, I checked the fluid and found the reservoir coated with an oily black deposit and the fluid brown and watery rather than clear and green. The juddering whilst turning the steering stationary is intermitent and probably due to the resevoir filter being clogged up.

I am assuming the dark muck in the fluid is from the rubber hoses breaking down and so I propose to change the high pressure hose.

Thoughts please.
