Power steering leak
New to the forum. So here it goes, change my serpintine belt. 08 accord 3.5 V6 auto tran., the power steering fluid starts to leak soon I start the car. Seems there's a clog or the pump is pumping the wrong way. I can see bubbles of fluids coming up the reservoir. What do I do.

So are you really sure you have the new belt installed correctly? Maybe the pump IS ACTUALLY spinning backwards?

Check for a leak at the low-pressure hose at the pump. That's the line from the bottom of the PS fluid reservoir directly to the pump. Air sucked in there would make foam in the fluid, causing overflow.
Dirty PS fluid reservoir? I think there's a fine mesh screen submerged in the fluid. If that's dirty, then the pump is pulling a stronger vacuum in that line.
