Hi I have a 95 f150 with the 302. Every once in a while the power steering pump reservoir cap will pop off and my fluid will go every where. I have replaced all the fluid, and put on a new cap but the problem still exists. Anyone have any ideas

 

The only thing i can think of is if you over filled it.. that or you forgot to turn the cap after you put it on

 

No i just checked the fluid level that was ok. It only does it after the steering has been held at full for a while like 4 or so seconds and it is only every once in a while

 

any one else got any ideas. I am open to any thing as of this point

 

try poking a small hole in the cap so pressure dont build up

 

I cant do that because i live in a very dusty area. i do not want to get crap in the pump.

 

there should already be a hole or two on the top off the cap

 

ya there is so thats why i am lost on this problem. The pump is still working but i dont know if it is over heating causing pressure to build up.

 

O and when I got the truck the fluid smelled a little burned so i change it out

 

You might try running some Sea Foam "TransTune" in the pump, pretty good stuff!
