Default power steering

My 2005 Accord has a problem with the power steering foaming and overflowing. Any idea on what is wrong and how to correct it. It is not overfull so now I don't know what else to check.

Do u have the v6? Or 4 cylinder? The v6 has a issue with the o ring causing it to foam, it's a very simple fix

I went to the Honda dealer to day and bought the O-ring for the power steering pump inlet side. Plus 2 bottles of Honda power steering fluid, which by the way was over $5.00 per 12 ounce bottle. The O-ring was $1.65 !!! This repair stopped the foaming and over flowing and the pump in now quiet and works great.
