probably what you've got is air trapped somewhere in the ps system.
the pump whines as the bubbles go through it, and when the system's
off and they expand from 900psi back to 14.7 they make the reservoir
overflow.

i don't know if it could be sucking air from a crack or worn seal.
that the problem recurred suggests that though.  did it leak any fluid
that first day?
