power steering gone light

[luvpsi]

hey guys i went out for a bit of a bash in the mud the other day nothing t damaging. however i drove it yesterday and now the steering has gone light and with a little bit more of slop before it engages. im thinking power steering fluid is low i cant see any leaks but the last couple of times of 4x4 some bumps have made the power steering resivoir overflow

If the steering is light all the time in both directions I would guess you have snapped/damaged the torsion rod in the input shaft which controls the amount af hyd assistance based on load. As for the resivior overflowing how can ths happen dont you run a cap??

Excess air, hot fluid, extreme angles an g forces all can cause fluid to overflow.
Extreme lock to lock use can cause air in system and overflow.
Trick some drifters use a sock or beanie over the bottle to soak up the excess.
as for light feel sorry.
