p.s. fluid blast

[xtiaan2000]

I have a Scout steering box and a Saginaw pump. It seems to be shooting fluid up on my hood randomly. Or maybe I just check it randomly.

Any hints on what might be going on?

It could be a split in the line when you turn a to full lock or pressure the system it may be expanding the split and spitting fluid. Have you check the hoses? It may help to have someone have eyes (with safety glasses on) on it when your turning the wheel.

From what it looks like it seems that it is coming out the cap and running down to hit the belt and shoot all over the hood- although I have not had someone to turn the wheel while I looked. Someone mentioned that the fluid might be foaming out. I had put in regular ps fluid.

?

Could it be leaking from the front seal of the pump?

new pump/cap.

 

[xtiaan2000]

its a mystery

 

[xtiaan2000]

No, I dont think so. Even if had been it had been it would eventually stop with it getting lower each time. But stoping. I will look at the cap again and make sure that there is a seal or something missing.

Cap vented?

 

[xtiaan2000]

The cap has a spring and there is a gasket underneath it. It does seem to be leaking from under the cap tho.

 

[bobm]

Bingo. Vent.

 

[xtiaan2000]

So I am not sure where that leaves me. Should I get another different cap?

 

[bobm]

Yup
