Recently install a h22a motor, somehow the power steering fluid storage(reservoir) is purging out bubblish fluid (which is not safe to drive, supposely). Also, the power steering unit makes noise like a tatto machine (weird), and finally there is smoke coming from the power steering unit sides (which is the alternator, power steering, ac compressor unit) could not tell where exactly it's coming from. Could it be because of the power steering unit itself (I have two power steering unit and both still do the same thing) or there isn't enough fluids for the unit or Somehow we hook up wrong vacuum line?

* I have change out new power steering fluids
*Switch back and forth power steering unit (I have two unit, one with the new motor and the one with the si motor)
* I have drive around to check but no luck

Please help me out, I am those one that couldn't afford big budget car. thank you.

my prelude is doing the same thing and i cant figure out where the fuild is leaking from. So u tried another pump and it is still doing it?

 

I developed the same problem after removing my PS pump to install the JRSC. After replacing the pump it would start making a grinding noise when i turn the wheel AT LOW REVS.... if i am around 2k theres no grinding... i'm guessing its a leaky seal.

I've been trying to find a PS rebuild kit, apparently nobody offers one....

 

Yes, I have to unit. Tried both and still don't work. Please help. I want power steering, without it, it's a piece of crap steering a heavy prelude.
