Default Thanks JimBlake for the procedure!!

What about the air in the system? Will the air bubbles be gone due to the power steering fluid being circulated?
Do you mean that the foam is because of the air bubbles? If so, after filling the reservoir , steering has to be turned side to side(how many times) in order to get the air out of the system?

I would appreciate your input on the following symptom as well!

Mine is 2000 Accord SE 4cyl( 150K). I am in Michigan and this winter i am noticing the same thing. When i start on a cold Morning and try to turn the steering it looks like the steering belt is slipping(rather hard to turn the steering). When i turn the steering all the way, i hear a whining noise/power steering pump locking up(just a fraction of second). I noticed this by opening the hood and turning the steering wheel. Looks like the steering belt is slipping and sometimes power steering motor locking up.
Should i replace the belt or is the power steering motor giving up?

Thanks in advance!
