When it is full of fluid the steering works normal. Any ideas what to do. thanks ahead time. [Reply]  [No Email]

Good luck.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Restricted oil intake will cause enough vacuum in the pump to suck air past the pump shaft seal and mix it with the oil. Another small chance is a bad flow control/relief valve in the pump,or loose pump body bolts.   [Reply]  [No Email]
