Default Brake fluid in power steering?
Went to bleed the brakes on a 2001 Super duty, and the power steering overflowed. Is there a seal that can be changed? Just put a power steering pump on also. Any info appreciated,thx.

You probably just overfilled it when you changed the pump. Did you have the truck started when you were bleeding the brakes?

Sounds like the master cylinder is leaking back into the power steering system, that and the hydro-booster is leaking also??

Wait... There's not really brake fluid in your power streering reservoir is there? The PS fluid just pushed out when you were pumping the brakes right?

The power steering was filled to the correct level, pumping the brakes filled the reservoir and pushed out the cap. Got a new master cylinder, solved the problem.
