PS pump issue It looks like I blew the PS pump seal or some ****, we were gingerly moving it out of the garage when I noticed a trail of purple fluid(RP PS fluid). I tightened up the feed line because there was some wetness around it. Tried to move it out again, then there was a noise, kinda like a pop, then PS fluid was getting spun around by the pulley. Im not sure what that issue is or what caused it. Could there have been air in the lines and the pressure popped the seal? I had filled the reservoir prior to starting it. All the fittings and hoses look ok.
BTW I have streel braided PS lines.

Also, PS pump has been off the car for about 3 months for my turbo build. Lines were also removed and the PS thing down below was pretty much dry. Could it have been an excess build up for pressure from the air left in the lines?
