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.

In 1923, French tennis player René Lacoste was promised a crocodile leather suitcase by his captain if he won his next match. He lost the match but won the nickname "the crocodile" which he had sown onto his tennis attire. Ten years later he launched the first polo shirt and Lacoste, the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing.
