power steering fluid shooting everywhere

BOL · Sep 28, 2009

Yesterday I had my truck jacked up with wheels off ground. With the motor off, I turned the steering wheel and power steering fluid shot out! Is this normal? I couldn't find exactly where it was shooting from. When motor was on it did not do this. Why is this happening? :beer:

Yup, completely normal.

the lid probably popped off the fluid resevoir from the pressure in the pump since the truck was turned off...completely normal just make sure the lid is not laying down in your engine compartment lol :icon_rofl:
