I overfilled my power steering with a no leak brand to stop a leak, i put to much, and haven't added power steering yet, and when i put it some split and now when i turn my car on and turn the wheel some smoke starts to come out from under the hood near the power steering cap, now i didn't add power steering just the stop leak, and i put to much, what can happen?

wellkeep checking it you don't need the engine running an dmake sure when it's cold you don't go above that as it heats up it will puke out. The stop leak stuff rarely works however and it's probably a line that is leaking or maybe an oring so you shold have it checked out anyhow.
