Default Power steering problem

I moved my truck the other day when it was cold and when i shut it off the power steering pump had built up pressure and puked fluid out of the cap, now it does this all the time. Is there some sort of pressure relief plunger that has stuck? Thanks for the help.

Check your return line and make sure there is no blockage. Jack the truck up fill resivor and turn lock to lock slowly! a few times . should take care of it.

Maybe one of our mods will make it happen, seems to be a popular problem. Seems like everytime I have a problem with my truck, everybody else has the same problem shortly after
