power steering woes (kinda long)

First off, 85 900 turbo, 16v. I recently replaced my (what I thought was)dead ps pump with a used one from a junkyard. The old had a really bad groan that would not go away and I figured the pump was shot. Anywho, worked great although there was a slight whining that I did not remember having before. This was about two weeks ago. Has been working fine even on 15 degree mornings. Drove it to work today and it was ok. Went to leave and had a really bad groan. So I let it run a couple of minutes to see if it would work itself out. Cranked the wheel and it got even worse. So popped the hood and there is ps fluid coming out of the top of the resevoir cap. Now the research I have done here tells me that maybe I have "morning sickness" with the groan, but that does not address the spewing fluid. Oh, and I popped the cap and its foaming. I let it run for another 10 minutes to see if warmup would help and it did not. When I did the swap I put in new fluid and a new hose (the bigger one of the two).
If this problem is the rack, does it really cause all this noise? Even when not turning? And lastly the car is still at work, can I disconnect the ps belt to strong-arm it home (15 miles) without any harm?
Thanks and sorry for the long msg.
Boyd
