Hi Mud, I'm currently parked in the auto parts parking lot shortly after I lost power steering on a long highway uphill. Basically all the fluid was on the road and my engine bay.
I bought some fluid and as soon as I fill the reservoir, it immediately comes out the hole in the power steering pump. Now, what is that hole? See the center of this picture:
And the blurry right side of this one (sorry, it's too close to get focused):
I replaced the pump a few months ago but I don't remember ever really doing anything on that side. Looking at pictures of a new pump I can't figure out the function. The hoses all look good and tight. Any advice is appreciated.
