1989 Honda Prelude mileage: 95,000. I have had the steering rack replaced three times by the same mechanic and I am still having the same problem. There is power steering fluid on top of the reservoir and even on the underside of the hood above the reservoir. The fluid seems to leak sometimes and other times it does not. The fluid also appears to be foaming up in the reservoir. The mechanic that I took it to is trying to help me and has only charged me once but this has been going on for too long and I cannot afford to take it to a dealer and pay again. What do you suggest?

Because the power steering fluid is foaming up, this would indicate that air is somehow getting into the system. In view of the fact that you have replaced the steering rack three times, try replacing the power steering pump. A faulty power steering pump could be the source of air in the system.
