04 V8 4WD Power Steering Problem

[4RunnerV8]

Been a while since last post, but need some help. Yesterday, I had a full timing service done - oil seals, water pump, timing belt, and also replaced a frozen tensioner pulley along with a new serpentine belt. Picked the truck up, and within 5 miles power steering starts to go. I pull over, and fluid is pouring out of the reservoir.

It's going back to shop now - any ideas what this could be, and if it could be a result of an accident with the timing and serpentine service?

Thanks in advance...345K miles on this old truck.

I would take it back of course. Probably because of service. You got quite a lot done. Possibly nothing to do with it... Ya sorry for not much help.

I would double check the belt routing and make sure they have it on correctly. It could also be that they just overfilled it.

If power steering fluid is pouring out of the reservoir cap it sounds like it got air in the system and wasn't bleed properly, that's what mine was doing when I flushed my power steering fluid until I got all the air out.

Wound up flushing system and cleaning out filter - thanks for the help, folks.
