My power stering is leaking by the overflow on top of the pump... At first I thought it was my power stering pump that was the problem and I replaced it.... But it wasn't!! When the engine is running there is no leaking of the power stering fluid and power stering seems to work just fine. Problem is pressure is building up in the system and when I turn the engine off, power stering fluid just come back and blow by the top of the pump.... I thought there was a valve in the rackin pignon that was not working right so I replaced the rackin pignon too. Just finished bleeding it, start the engine, turned it off.... Same problem, pressure still building up and fluid ends up on the floor.... Does someone has an idea what can be the problem?? I feel like I have checked or replace all parts that could be the problem... Thanks for your help!!
ALL FORDS WILL DO THAT THERE IS NO BY PASS IN GEAR BOX OR RACK , WITH ENGINE OFF THEY WILL OVER FLOW. ONLY FORD SORRY TO SAY YOU FIX IT BUT IS ALL THE SAME ..

if you have power stering oil in it its normal for the pump to be noisy its air that make that noise continue to drive air will come out by itself after a few kilometer it will go away if you have enough oil thanks pierre
SOURCE: Bleeding clutch slave cylinder
i think youre doing the right thing. they are very stubborn to bleed because the hyd. line goes up high across back of engine before droppiing back down to slave cyl., trapping air. could try to gravity bleed by opening bleeder at slave, cap off of master cyl, full with fluid then it may start to come out after a bit. then try your process again. or can try to bleed at connections further up the line, working your way back to bleeder. hope this helps. be patient.

You have a problem in the fuel pump relay circuit for sure then. I'm betting the relay, but it could be that dropping resistor.
SOURCE: Help with cooling system!!
OK, firstly The basis that a cars cooling system runs on is very simple. The system is a pressurized cycle that moves the coolant around, along with the heat, and is slowest in the radiator to allow heat to escape. If the system is not pressurized then the cycle will not work properly and coolant will not move.
If there is air in the system this can create what would seem like a blockage. 'bleeding the system is not the answer especially if you are using the drain on the radiator. That drain is only for draining fluid not air.
If air blockage is the problem then what you do is open the system at the highest point possible. this is usually a hose at the top of the radiator or something, whatever is easiest. Then find the other hose attached to the radiator, lower, higher makes no difference. then simply squeeze the second hose. this will 'burp' the air out do this for a while until all that happens is fliud is pushed out repeatedly.
then reattach the top hose and top up the radiator, and go for a drive.
If this doesn't fix the problem then air is not the problem.

A power steering dosent need bleeding. If you replaced it a week ago and was fine until now then it's not an air problem. Power steering fluid is pumped through the system even when the steering is not being used. Definatly not an airlock problem. Cheer's
