Noisy P/S pump replaced after it began leaking. New pump also noisy. Lots of bubbles in new fluid even after new fluid flush and bleed. 3 times during bleed the fluid backed up and overflowed through reservoir - lots of foam and fluid! Can't maintain vacuum at reservoir with hand pump. Possibles: Leaking hose(s), new pump bad, rack/pinion pressure relief is gone. What's your opinion? Remedy? Thanks.

Might need to let it set and purge the air out of the system. Had a Taurus do that the other day, spit fluid everywhere and was noisy, let it set for a few hours and rechecked the fluid and it was fine. If air gets in the rack unit, it can take a while for it to work its way out
