Jim,
You may have a pinched return line. Check the metal tubing parts of
the PS hoses from where they attach to the rack
to where they become rubber hose, as well as the high pressure hose
where it attaches to the pump. Since you say you
had to beat on the pump in order to adjust the belt tension, I would
start with the HP hose at the pump. You may have inadvertently
smashed the metal tubing. Does the steering seem to work normally,
otherwise?

I am serious. All is fine at idle. Once I get the RPM's over say
3K, the reservoir seems to suck in air because it compresses. Once
I let go of the throttle, it releases a stream of fluid through the
red cap on the reservoir cap as far as the hood. This is pissing me
off - no pun intended.
I changed all three belts, alternator, a/c, and power steering. I
had to hammer on the power steering pump a bit to adjust the
tension on the belt. Do you think I did some damage to a relief
valve or to the pump itself?
Thanks,
Jim
