The main symptom of Power Steering (PS) fluid overflow from its reservoir is from an incorrect level. It is advisable to shut of the vehicle and check the level. There is the possibility it has been over-filled. Correct the condition, restart the engine and turn the wheel back and forth to circulate the PS. Recheck for spillage conditions and level. If the condition continues there are other issues which should be checked by a qualified automotive technician.
