Re: Bleeding power steering pump
Don't have the manual with me but most power steering systems are self-bleeding. fill up the reservoir, start the car, keep the reservoir full, turn the wheel from lock to lock a few times, keep the reservoir full, 5 minutes later it's bled. If the reservoir ever runs dry, start over.
Are you sure the bubbles are circulating or are they just frothing in the reservoir from the flow? If you're still getting bubbles in the system 6 months later, even without bleeding it, that makes me think there's a leak in the suction hose drawing air into the pump or you have the wrong fluid and it's cavitating.

A new o-ring in the goose neck attached to the PS pump fixed my air leak. If you needed to re-use your old one I would look there.
