How do I bleed my power steering pump on my 98 Ford Taurus?
I own a 98 Ford Taurus (V6 3.0 single cam) I had my power steering pump changed recently by my gf's father, because the old one was leaking. The car is working but the steering seems to have a little bit more resistance than it should (very mild) and also has a very slight whine that kicks in once in a while. I know that is the indication of a leak but it only happens once in a while. I also checked the fluid and it is brownish and murky, not the way the fluid looked when I added it. I talk to my gf's dad and he said that the power steering pump needs to be bled, but doesn't know how to do it. He said it may just need to be used a while more to get the air pushed out of it. He also said to start the car and crank the wheel back and forth for a bit once in a while. he said that will help prime it. Should I do this? Is the fluid normal? Should the power steering pump be bled? if so, how do I do it? If anyone can answer anything, it would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

The air will work ts way out. Just keep a check on your fluid Laval and it will be fine.

There is no bleeding. The cap has a breather hole that will allow any trapped air in the system to escape as the pump is working.
You may want to look into flushing the system if the fluid is really bad.

Yep, No bleeding is necessary.
When you wake up tomorrow it will be fine.
All that pumping has churned the fluid into fine micro bubbles.
It will take a while till they dissipate.
If you had the front wheels off the ground prior,
it would of worked quicker.

guys are right, microbubbles! I like micro bubbles on new years!
they will bubble up to the top , park in warm garage, cold will have thicker fluid and trap suspended bubbles.
Turn the radio up until then.
