Default Power steering pump still on going now a new thing

wwll I finally got power steering pump hooked up and ran it for a while all good, then all of a sudden it starts like boiling out of the cap filler like a volcano erupting and just keeps flowing, what the hell is going on? I’m so frustrated. Help I’m at my wits what is causing this now

  1. I undid nut on both lines and also turning it to, just idling and not even turning anything it just starts erupting out of filler cap like a volcano. I’m wondering if my lines could be crossed cause they go from pump and under engine and thru then back of wall of transom . You can’t really see under engine to tell. Would that cause it to erupt out maybe

I had the same thing happen to me a bazillion years ago when I was adding power steering to a '69 3/4 ton Chevy truck. I bet i burned up 4 or 5 junkyard pumps with the same results. Bottom line is you're not bleeding the system properly of air.
