would this be normal?

Well, it started out with the truck stalling, the police told me to get out of the road, so they pushed me backwards into an arby's. After I got situated at the fast food joint, low and behold I see a stream of ps fluid for only part of the distance I was pushed, maybe the last ten feet or so. The res cap was drowned, it was sort of like a bomb went off. My question is without the truck running, would this be a normal thing to happen. The fluid did stop. It was a one time burst it seems like.

By the way, want to say a BIG thanks to the ford site, because if i weren't reading this everyday, I wouldn't have known to keep a cps in my truck. within 20 minutes it was changed and I was on my way again.

Yes, ps fluid can come out if turning the steering with engine off, just top it off and you should be good to go.
