Power Steering Issues 2000 WS6 TA My steering worked fine before winter, then started it up in spring and after it was warmed up the Power steering fluid was foaming overflow from the reservoir.
changed the fluid etc, bled it and same thing after it get warmed up. All works fine when cool, doesn't turn when warm and wants to overflow.
Pump seals or rack seals? it will do this just idling in the driveway.
any help is appreciated.
thanks

It sounds like your power steering cooler went bad and is leaking coolant into your power steering system. You can get a new power steering cooler or simply remove it all together (cooler was an option, not standard on all fbodies) and install a new upper radiator hose for a car without the cooler and connect the power steering lines.

Yes I thought the same and did that already, took the cooler out, drained al the fluid redid the return line and filled it. works great when cold, only issue is after it warms up. Then its fine when its cold again.
