Exclamation power steering problem

So i just got done doing a valve adjustment on my 02 TL-S and that went off without any issues until i got everything back together and turned on the car. For some reason now whenever i turn my wheel the power steering pump whines and it spits PS fluid all over the place from the resevoir.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

You probably brushed up against the p/s pump. If you so much as look at them the wrong way you'll need a new p/s pump inlet o-ring. It's a cheap, easy fix, and a real common problem when you do any work in the vicinity of the pump.
