How do you prevent the power steering pump for squirting the juice like a mofo when you run a short belt ?

Almost got killed last year because I ruined a guy's t-shirt at the track cuz the power steering was squirting like a **** star ....
 
What exactly do you mean? That sort of doesnt make any sense. Running a shorter belt has nothing to do with how fast the pump is operating, it's the pully itself that turns everything. Your accessories arent speeding up just because you have a shorter belt.

When the engine is running, the power steering reservoir squirts through the small hole on the cap even though it is not connected ?

How can this happen ?

Because your not using the proper cap that has baffles to prevent that from happening...
 
:confused:

I have the original cap ? Do you mean I need another cap ?
The original cap has some sort of rubber baffle under it...

Can someone explain me how can it be squirting ? It is not even driven by the belt ?

:confused:
 
Dude just go to your local auto parts store, in the HELP section
that is the section with a bunch of odds & ends in red packeging
you will find a new cap there for bout 5 bucks and yes it has the
baffles. so go get it :spot:
