I recently replaced my timing belt at home. This job required removal of the ps pump to get to the belt. When I put everything back together and tried to bleed the ps fluid, it foamed up and spilled out of the reservoir. Whenever I run the engine, the fluid immeidately turns to foam so that the air never escapes the fluid. I have seen lots of tech sites say that I need to find where the air is leaking into the vacuum side of the system. I've inspected all the hoses and lines, thay look fine, but I doubt I would be able to detect a pinhole with the naked eye. Any tecnique for this would be good. Or do I need to flush the fluid, or replace the ps pump? I'm hesitant to spend $250 on a pump unless I'm fairly certain it will fix it.
