How long have you run it after replacing? It is generally hard to get all the air to purge out of the system quickly. I always turn the wheel stop to stop and shut off the engine with the P/S reservoir cap off. I do this over and over until no more froth shows up. The froth is aerated fluid from the pump - as it works air out, it is mixed with fluid. There is a lot of waiting upon purging. OR, you can modify another "spare" power steering cap and pull a vacuum with a mighty vac to pull a low vacuum on the system while you initially run it. You may get some pump whine while pulling a vacuum, but after it is purged and the vacuum is let off, it returns to normal...FWIW.
