Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

If you see foaming in the pump, air is getting into the system. Check all connections and seals. I attached a picture that shows the pump, hoses (lines) and rack. Check for leaks on all components. Also, make sure none of the steel lines are rusted and nothing is pinched shut.

Let me know what you find.
