Rebuit Power Steering Pump Problems

I need some help with a rebuilt power steering I installed today. The new pump had a female fitting on the back & my old had a male fitting. I went to town & found a new high pressure hose that would fit the new pump. I now have all new hoses, but the new pump doesn't work at all & makes no noise. I tried bleeding all the air out of the system, But I've gone through 5 quarts of Dexron fluid & it keeps blowing it out the cap & letting the resevoir go low to empty. I took the return line loose at the steering gear & only get fluid out of it sometimes when I turn the wheel. I took it around the block & fluid was all over the underside of the hood above the pump. Should fluid be flowing back through the return line when the pump is turning? I'm thing I've got a piece of junk pump, I'm thinking of getting my old pump back, it worked better. I feel I've wasted a whole weekend with no gain!
