Did you use power steering fluid or ATF? You didn't get the hose kinked or put in the wrong spot did you?

Does the new cap have a vent hole in it?

The hydroboost unit uses ATF, but that should only cause a loud pump, not popping the cap off. Does it feel like the power steering is working? If the pump is not working properly or not at all, the cap will pop off.
