Need help with power steering pump churning up PS fluid
Hey. My '91 audi 100's power steering pump is creating frothy power steering fluid in the fluid reservoir. It creats more bubbles the faster the engine RPMs. This is creating a real problem because all of the liquid bubbles out of the container within minutes, especially if doing a lot of hard accelerations. You guys have any ideas? do I need a simple seal or is my pump bad?
Thanks.
Thanks.

It sounds as though your pump (or something on the suction side is pulling in air. If you are lucky, all it is a tightnig job or a bad hose connection.
