Default Any foaming in the PS reservoir? Could be the shaft seal on the pump...

<center><img src="http://www.thrillingdetective.com/images/shaft.JPG"></center><p>unless you know someplace else where there's a leak. Take the top engine cover off, and look all over behind the pump. If there is a lot of greasy debris-filled residue, then it's your pump's shaft. Been there, done that.

SHAFT! John Shaft... can ya dig it?
