what kind of ps are you using? does it have stop leak in it?

you probably have a leak in your high pressure hose on the drivers side. it is not boiling over it has air in it. it is like taking a water and shaking it up, of coarse it will have bubbles in it. i would drain the whole thing and refill it, then bleed it and see if that works.

no it does not have stop leak in it. I was just told to use it though

x2 on the drain it and refill it.

I would go with a high temp dot 3. the fluid does have to be changed every now and again anyways
