I have an old clark cf40b and I noticed power steering fluid under it, alot. What's happening is that when the engine runs evrything works fine, but once I shut off the engine the fluid comes out tru the cap under pressure, i can hear it hissing. What's causing this?
I topped it off and again did the same thing. It has the power steering pump which is in the end of the alternator.
Any input is appreciated.
