It is rather a weird fault and hard to accept. The strange thing is that when a faulty ring leaks, air enters but there is no significant leaking of fluid. Things go haywire when valves within the system are unable to cope with air in the fluid.
The first symptom is usually a high pitched sort of squeak/wine at full lock or when the pump is delivering full pressure. This appears to result from a valve chattering, but as I understand it this has not been absolutely confirmed.
The good thing is that it is a very easy and cheap fix and certainly should be tried before embarking on anything more expensive.
