I had a leak from the top of the steering column after I rebuilt the power steering pump. I had rebuilt the pump incorrectly and was pushing on the steering real hard to see if I could purge the air in the lines. Figured out my mistake and got the pump working properly, but soon noticed that I messed up the seal. The seal leaked bad for a while but now has stopped. Bought a new seal anyway, and trying to decide if I need to tackle this issue or if it healed itself, PTL.
The problem I am having is that the pump wants to spit fluid from the top vent on the reservoir. If I top it off, it will spit it out when hot and the fluid looks cloudy. Is it possible that the formerly leaking seal could somehow be causing this?
Pump was rebuilt with a YT kit and a new filter.
Steering works fine otherwise...
