Few months back I wrote about the PS fluid foaming up and spewing out the cap on a 5000 with the old style separate reservoir.
Was using UTF as the fluid like I do on the rest of my Fords. Changed the filter, didn't help.
It was sucking air from somewhere, never did find out where.
But flushed the system out, and used type F transmission fluid instead.
Still sucking air (I watched with the lid off the reservoir), but the Type F doesn't foam like the UTF does.
So no more spewing. And if it's leaking out, I haven't seen it in the fluid level.
So it may not be fixed, but it's functional.
