Power steering eruption from cap

Power steering eruption from cap
Hello everyone. I tried searching and found a lot of leaking steering fluid issues but none like my problem.
I have a 95 4runner v6
When I bought the truck a few months ago it had a small PS leak.
I changed the fluid and added some ATP AT-205 stop leak and the leak went away.
Today when I got to work I noticed something dripping from the skid plate. Looked underneath and it looks like I have a huge PS leak. I opened the hood and it appears that the fluid erupted from the cap.
It does not seem good. Anyone have any ideas?

Try bleeding it - engine off and jack the front and slowly crank the wheels left to right with the cap off. Check level and repeat as needed. Pump may also be junk, had these symptoms on a Mercedes at 140k and couldn't be saved.
