I didn't but why does it specify not to overfill on the power steering reservoir what would happen if you do. Bob answered 3 years ago. Fluid heats up and expands and may be expelled from the reservoir through the vent.
Leaking fluid could get onto the belts causing issues and fluid could get on the exhaust causing a possible fire hazard. GuruZ9RG3 answered 3 years ago. Too much fluid makes the pump build up too much pressure. If not releaved through vent holes,The "weakest spot" will pop. Probably a hose. Go in your house or any convient store grab a straw. Stick the straw down in and place your thumb over the top hole.
The suction grabs the fluid. Lift it up and out. Remove the excess fluid. Just like you did with chocolate milk as a kid. No-one cares if the question is old.
People have the same problems over and over. The straw solution is faster than anything else I saw in this thread. You contributed nothing. Did you seriously join the website to post that?
Power steering fluid is available for sale at automotive supply stores and can easily be replaced, however, a drop in the amount of fluid may be indicative of a leak in the power steering rack.
The simplest solution is that the vehicle has simply run out of fluid ; this could be due to a leak or it could be because you have not replaced the fluid recently. A more serious problem is that the pump itself is failing—not necessarily a common problem, but certainly, something that can happen in older vehicles. A power steering fluid flush is the process of draining the old fluid that is in the power steering system and replacing it with new fluid.

The new fluid used should always have been stored in a sealed container to avoid moisture intrusion.
Many manufacturers recommend periodic brake fluid changes to ensure reliability and safety. Check your brake fluid as often as you check the other fluids in your engine. Do not overfill. Brake fluid has hygroscopic properties - meaning that it absorbs moisture during its life in your car through the pipes, hoses and joints that it lubricates. Changing brake fluid when recommended prevents brake failure and maintains the boiling point at a safe level.
