Power steering pump stopped working while i was doing 80 in a sharp curve ! made it through ok but the fluid is coming out of the reservoir anytime i turn the steering wheel. I picked up a used pump (67k) and put it in, same problem but not quite as bad. Hard to no steer, pump makes a whining noise, fluid comes out of the reservoir. Dealer want's $950 to TRY and correct. too much cash for a poor fella! Someone told me it COULD be the union port valve ($60 to replace). Any thoughts from anyone ??????

sounds like you should inspect the reservoir

How much fluid do you have in the system? When does it come out of the reservoir? When driving, or standing still, or turning the wheel? At what temperature?
