power steering: whines and spews fluid when shut off
 

ok.
when i turn the wheel it whines like a slipping belt almost but not quite
when i shut off the car it spews out from around the filler neck
the fluid is brown and frothy

what do you guys think? is there a way to bleed out all the fluid? is the pump shot? is air getting in somehow? idk

if its whinning there is no fluid or not enough. And if its leaking then you need to fix it. on the filler neck you can re weld where its coming from or possibly use some of the magnum steel putty from the auto store. Im sure there are other things you could do.

Mainly you need to fix the leak and fill it back up

I have this same problem.

looking forward to a response.


Edit. there is a response. In my situation, the fluid spews out the cap when the car is shut off. There is no leak.

I hope this isn't a thread jack. I've been running no PS belt for months now.

no its leaking from the filler opening, its seeping up between the resivour and cap
is there supposed to be a rubber grommit there?

have you noticed any decline in the performance of the steering system prior to this?

or did you just start driving one day and BAM whining and boiling?

no for a day it did it so i went and got some fluid and then this happens. it whines before i put in the fluid and it still does it now

Ditto.

No decline in performance in mine (when full of fluid) It just spews it all out then the car is shut off.

just noticed that the nut on the ps pully spins with the pully, none of the others do that. is it normal or what?

yup, the alt pulley is the same way.

Between the cap and tube there is supposed to be a o ring.

when the engines running the ps pully wobbles. i tightened it up but it still gobbles? whats the deal?

Is it bent? While that might not cause the problem, it could be related.

looks fine to me

have you checked all the fititngs on the rack and the lines running to the rack for leaks? it may have sucked some air up in the system...

notice any puddles of P/S fluid before this problem?

screw it, im gonna swap in a manual rack

if the pully is wobbling and hte pully wasnt, bent ,or hit or something before, then theres a good chance the pumps internal bearings are shot and its making the whole shaft wobble... the pump might be going out..
