[alfa] Milano: foamy power steering fluid

[Mark Denovich <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm begining to think my Verde is in fact animate.  Every time I fix 
something, a new problem pops up out of nowhere.   I think it wants me 
to work on it all the time.

I fixed a host of problems and annoyances this weekend, only to reveal a 
new one.   This one is outside my realm of experience, so I ask for help 
from the group...

My power steering fluid is foaming like mad.   I noticed a weird sound 
yesterday, and finally isolated it today.   I heard a wooshing sound 
coming from the steering wheel.   It was like the sound of the ocean. 
It only seems to make the noise at idle or at low speed.

I checked to see if the reservoir was low and was surprised to see the 
fluid had been whipped into a pink foam.   Now it made sense.

Anyone have an idea what the probable cause could be?  I checked the 
fittings and nothing seems to be leaking.   No fluid on the floor either.
