If it is bubbling inside the reservoir and fluid is overflowing, air must be entering into the system from suction side of the pump. I haven't had that problem with my car but my son's Civic was doing it.

On his car, the suction hose was old and had a crack. Air was entering in to the system.

Check online parts catalog (Majestic Honda) for the car and see what is needed to replace.

I personally have not had many issues with the P/S on this particular car.


If the system needs to burp, yes it can cause this issue. Easiest way is to take the cap off the res and let the car run for a while, like 15-20 minutes.


Most of the time that alone will work the air out. They also sell a tool called a power bleader. Its a good tool to have in the box if you end up needing one, buy a good one.


The chances of air getting into the system are also pretty good. It does happen, and if your return line is shitty, it can allow air into the res and cause this.


The return line usually has a clamp on it. The high pressure line bolts up, but the return line usually has a banjo clip or a radiator hose looking clip jobby but smaller.

The lines are easy to replace if needed.

My end all trick to bleeding a system is to disconnnect the return line at the res, and allow it to pump into a jug. You'll want to keep adding fluid to the res while it cycles the fluid into the jug, but it will push the air out in the process. Once you have stopped getting air from the line, turn the car off(have a buddy to help) and reconnect the line as quickly as possible. Then, burp as mentioned in the beginning of my post by taking cap off and letting car run for a while.

Hope this helps!!!
