It started with a racheting noise and some times a belt squeel when staring. I thought it may low P/S fluid. I check the leve and look full. Not long after that I noticed and oil spot. I touch and smelled the oil it was P/S.
I checked the fluid level and the top chamber was full the bottom looked empty.
iI started the car and added fluid. the fluid was sucked in and a churrinng noise could be heard. the power steering was easy to turn but a frothy oil appeared at the resevour.
I turned the car off and the oil flowed over outis the resevour with pressure.
What could cause this the pressure relife valve in the pump? the presure selinoid at the steering box? Or a restricted return line.
I am not a pro mechanic but can fix thing if i know what to look for.
