Power steering pump is spitting!
 
my powersteering pump is spitting fluid out the top and making a mess all over!

Here's what I tried...

1. Drained and replaced fluid.
2. Bleed powersteering pump.
3. Replaced hoses.

It sometimes makes a noise and when the car is warmed up it starts to spit fluid out the top...when I turn the wheel it spits out more and makes more noise...

Does it need replacement? Is there anyway I can salvage what I got in there so I don't have to take it all apart? I'd hate to mess with the AC to get to the pump :(

Thanks!

PS - All I need is this and the cats replaced and I'm all done!!! The cats are on the way from WA and will be in when they arrive, then all I'll have left is the powersteering to fix and I'm on the road!!! I'm so close...please help!

bump! please help!

forgot to mention, i tried replacing the rubber rings around the dipstick to see if that would stop it, but the rings wouldn't fit so i put the old ones back on.

Get buff. My bro's GSL-SE was like that, but it would make a mess below the pump.

Bench press, push-ups, anything to strengthen your upper body.
