Hello,

The power steering fluid can overflow if it was filled more than the full mark.

Was the fluid topped off recently?

Did it overflow through the cap, or did it overflow when the cap was removed with the engine running?

Keep in mind that the fluid can overflow if the cap is removed with the engine running.

Are you getting any noises from the power steering?

Please let me know what else you might experience.
Thank you.
