There's still air in the system. Most people add fluid while the engine is running, then when they stop the engine, the air expands and pushes fluid out creating a big mess. The Ford dealer has all kinds of special tools and tricks for burping the air. No other manufacturer I'm aware has this common problem.

No need to empty it and start over. Power steering fluid and its additives can last a really long time. If you add with the engine running, and you already see it's expanding and filling the reservoir when you stop the engine, where is more fluid going to go? On the ground. As long as it's not sucking air causing a buzzing noise, drive it until the air works its way out, then when the level is low with the engine off, add some more. That could take days.

Add just enough fluid so you see it in the reservoir with the engine running, but don't fill it until there's room for it when the engine is off.
