Default power steering problem in my audi 80 model

I am a new member to this forum. I am currently having a problem with my power steering. My local mechanic has changed the pump. But the pump keeps on pumping out the fluid through the pot cover with great pressure despite the fact that the cover is tightly in place.The fluid is never retained in the pump or in the cup/pot. The few moment the fluid is retained, the steering becomes soft with the pump noisy. The steering is so strong all the time and wasting the fluid.I am so confused. Somebody should help me out please.

We need to know some specifics, about your car, so that I can:

1) Move your post to the proper forum (this section is for problems with the FORUM, not problems with yoru car).
2) provide you the best answer.

So, your car:
Year?
Model? (and, make, if its NOT an Audi)
FWD/AWD? (hey, not ALL AUdi's are AWD, ya know)
5-Sp/6-Sp/Tiptronic/Automatic?
Modifications you, or anyone else, may have done?

Tell me (us) all of that, and we'll get you an answer!
