Foamy Powersteering fluid

[HoneyMonster256]

So I have been noticing an oil leak lately and I figured it might have been the oil sending unit but I heard my power steering moaning today so I looked in the fluid reservoir and found it very foamy

So I think I have air getting into the system, Could it be a Pressure line?

Any ideas or advice?

Mine has a leak also on the return line to the resevoir could be the inlet is getting air either from the same area yours is leaking

Best thing to do is pinpoint the leak. I would doubt that you would suck air on the pressure side. but perhaps on the suction side. Running the fluid low and/or contaminated fluid (from someone putting something other than P/S fluid in it) can make it foamy.

Well I checked this morning and the fluid was normal again. I'm gonna try and pinpoint the leak after I figure out my CAT code issue

so i did some checking over the weekend and looks like its either leaking from the high pressure line or from the steering rack itself. there are a couple of rubber looking rings that are either purposely split or cut do you know what they are???
