Power steering Help

theo8989 · 11-10-2009, 09:49 AM

I started my car (mr2 mkII na) this morning and drove to the store and everything was ok. When i got back in to leave my p/s light was on and no power steering, i drove to work and looked under the hood and notice the power steering fluid forcing it self out of the reservoir and it look weird....yellowish white foam. So Where should I start? Has anyone had this problem....do I need new ps pump? Thanks for the help!

You might check the rack and pinion unit. This was my problem. Best wishes.
