Power steering overflow (for a Neon)

[gran racing]

This past weekend at a HPDE with our Neon, it looks like the power steering reservoir is over-flowing a little bit only while out on the track. I've heard of this happening with other vehicle makes, but am not sure how best to resolve the issue. I checked the fluid level, and it appears it is where it should be. Is this something that is common with Neons? Any ideas on how to resolve it? I suppose I could start with replacing the rubber ring/seal.

Run it at minimum or slightly below.

Put a sock on it.

Greg,

You hit the nail on the head!

I'll even use a clean one. LOL

Chris,
Just curious - is this fairly normal on Neons?

Yes its normal.....I used to run red line p/s fluid and do run it a little low...that should fix you up !!...mdg.

Yes, I don't run the sock, just because I don't like the mess. I just wipe it off after each session. If your car is a DOHC the problem is worse due to RPM. The DOHC can rev a bit higher.
