A few things to check before spending money on parts that were not needed previously...
Has water gotten into the coax or matching transformer? (All connections with exposure to the weather are suspect.) - - - Replace wet coax, it will never be reliable even if you could dry it.
Has the antenna been inspected for corrosion or failed connections at the element/phase-line junctions and matching transformer/phase-line connection block? - - - Replacement of the antenna would be indicated.
Is there a relationship between the signals disappearing and trees putting on leafs? - - - Additional height may help... or change of location to avoid aiming into trees. Failing that, a higher gain antenna may be indicated.
You are describing symptoms of time in the weather taking it's toll on the antenna, coax and connectors.

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)
