Once or twice my PS pump has pushed fluid back out of the fill tube past the dipstick. With enough pressure to spray it onto the back side of the wheel well.
The first time mine did it ...it was up on a lift in drive with the rear wheels turning at idle...hot day out. The mechanic was looking for some other issue. He checked the hoses and could not find any problem ... felt that it had come out of the fill tube. Today, cool day out... app. 40 degrees. Just put rebuilt carb back on car, it had not run in over a month. Started it at fast idle for a while ... finally warmed up and the rpm's slowed ... took it for a 5 minute drive, pulled it back into the garage, left it idling and then noticed a 8-10 inch puddle under the pump. Looked like it had sprayed out the fill tube and ran down the inside of the engine compartment between the wheel well and engine. Have never had any other issues with the car ... has never overheated. Any suggestions as to why this is happening ? Thanks
