Default Foaming P/S fluid?!

I I just tried changing/flushing my p/s fluid and now after I filled it up i'm getting a grinding and a moaning noise comming from my pump/rack..And my fluid has a thin layer of foam at the top..

I used 11s fluid BTW and I'm pretty sure I flushed all of the old fluid out..

Help please

Default All it was, was air..

I turned the wheel slowly to the right until it stopped (without holding it there) and then to the left.. Did it a couple of times and everything went back to normal.

Yep. Takes awhile to work out, but sounds like hell while it does.
