    Hydralic fluid coming out from Fill/Vent cap on Steering after filling and bleeding?

    Steering is MUCH more responsive and cycles left to right in 5.2 turns, but after a hard turn fluid came out from the fill/vent cap on steering column, what's with that? Looks like it's got a O ring on the cap that looks good. Thanks, Dennis

    Hydraulic steering takes many turns to actually turn the boat
