The photo looking into your P.S. reservoir shows the fluid foaming up; it should not look like that. Air is definitely getting into the P.S. system. I had the same problem on my 2004 Odyssey; the problem would come and go. I finally fixed it by replacing the rubber inlet hose. Unfortunately, I first re-built the P.S. pump, then I replaced the pump, neither of which fixed the problem.

Changed the all 4 hoses and still see it foaming , but not as much and its not flooding out like it used to do, but i saw little trace of ps fluid that looks like it came out from the cap on the reservoir.

where is the O-ring located?

Hmmm ... it appears the 92 PS Pump doesn't have the removable inlet pipe. If it did like the newer vehicles, then you remove the inlet pipe with a single bolt and the O-ring would be around the neck. There's a lot more to your PS system than on my 97.

Agree on the UV dye. Home depot has black light bulbs for $4. I found a P/S fluid leak that had been deceiving me for a long time in about 4 minutes. It was a hose coming off the vehicle speed sensor. Fixed the leak for $5 after finding it. My system was never foaming like that though. Me thinks it is more than a leak .....

One possibility is the screen in the reservoir. Down low in the reservoir there's a fine screen, normally submerged in the fluid. If that's plugged with crud, the pump has a hard time sucking fluid from the bottom of the reservoir, and sucks air in from the hose joints instead.

Disconnect the hoses & allow the reservoir to drain (be ready with rags, etc).
Clean up the screen with soap & water.
Let it DRY OUT COMPLETELY. (hairdryer?)
Put it back together & fill it.

If you had it apart, you may have noticed whether that screen was clean or dirty. That's all I was concerned about. If it's already clean, then don't worry.
