Start by verifying that the oil is foaming in the reservoir. If it is not, I don't think you are getting air in it. You may have a noisy charge pump relief. I really think your steering would be erratic if you were getting air in the system.

If you are convinced it is an air leak. I would start by replacing the filter. Even if you just did. Check to make sure the sealing area at the filter is free from nicks that would inhibit sealing.

If that doesn't fix it. Pull the charge pump and replace the O-ring and the front seal. (Replace the seal just for good measure.)
Sounds like a plan to me and thanks for the great pictures and explanation. I will post a followup if I have any sucess.
