make sure the 2 hoses to the slave aren't reversed

X2. I hooked one up backwards one time and the steering wheel ripped out of my hands, went to full lock, and then blew the seal out of the control valve. 2 quarts on the floor before I could shut it off.

If that isn't it, I'd be looking at a faulty control vavle. I'm assuming it's a ram system on the drag link.
