Default power steering uh oh's

so i turned the car over today and heard a weird rattling sound coming from the engine bay... and it seems to be coming from the power steering pump... it gets louder up til about 2k rpm then disappears entirely, comes back at idle when i stop... the pump isn't loose or anything, not sure what to think, it seems to still be functioning fine though

not out of fluid... but not really getting the fluid correctly either it would appear... one of the little clampy deals on the hose to the reservoir won't tighten, so it's letting air into the line and blowing bubbles in the reservoir and leaking a little
