get some better tires. crappy or wrong sized tires can put a lot of pressure on the power streeing system causing it to bubble up. Or upgrade to redline.

The car is on, its the fluid rushing back into the reservoir. Its normal unless there's actually AIR in it. If it looks like boiling water (rolling surface) its normal... the pump is running.
