Every time I turn the car off the power steering fluid bubbles up and overflows from under the reservoir cap. I have already replaced the pump, and the rack and pinion. Hoses seem clear of blockage and so does the reservoir filter. One thing I do know is a bearing in one of the lower pulleys is worn and making a pretty loud rough kind of noise when it spins. Could that be a factor? What else could it be?

My 97 did this, when you fill it up and then turn the car off, the fluid comes back up and out of the reservoir! There is a pressure sensor on the pressure line, you really have to search to find it, It will be under the res about 10 inches or so! There will be a wire going to it, you will have to replace that sensor! I think it is about $70. Hope this helps
