Chevy Cavalier Spitting P/S Fluid

Q. I've just bought a 1991 Chevy Cavalier and it's blowing power steering fluid back out of the fill cap. What could be causing this and how can it be fixed?

Chevy Cavalier Spitting P/S Fluid

A. I've never seen one do this! Is it overfilled? Do you have a pinched pressure hose? Do you have some power assist? Could be a bad pump or a restriction in the pressure line, return line or a bad rack.
