Pwr steer Fluid overflow.
I noticed today that if I push the brake pedel over and over again with the engine off,
power steering fluid starts dripping out the reservor fill cap. I know that it powers the brakes, Has any body else had this happen and is it normal.
Thanks
Mike

I would say your powersteering is full to begin with , and by pumping the brakes with the engine off you release the pressure/fluid from the accumulator on the hydroboost unit, the fluid then returns to the resevoir, and since the pump is not pumping , and your resevoir is already full, it cannot hold all of the oil from the accumulator, hence ,it overflows.
