Power steering whine
I have a 2001 f250, as i was doing my front breaks i dry steered the front in order to get to the caliper bolts. After doing this i noticed a small puddle of fluid on the ground. After an inspection under the hood i noticed that the power steering cap was pop up on one side and fluid was all wet around it. I finished the break job and checked the fluid level all fine. I went around the block testing to make sure the breaks were all good and as i drove i noticed a whine from when i hit the breaks and turned the wheel. I got back and the fluid was a little foamy. Could i have gotten air in the power steering and will it eventually go away or do i have to purge it somehow. Any adivce will be great.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

When you turn the steering wheel without the truck running, the fluid can spit out of the fluid cap. Make sure you have ATF in the power steering pump and NOT power steering fluid.
