Why does 98 Q45 power steering keeps pushing fluid out?

Its probably not an issue with the power steering or its pump. Might be the rack(power steering rack). This can allow air into system after engine off or idle. If you can see PSF circulating while engine is running, you'll know for sure its not the power steering pump. Rack work isn't as cheap but will be an easier fix then rebuilding your $3000 tranny.
