the system has a pump and seals that work up to operating pressure. By overfilling, you created higher than normal pressure and blew the pump and/or seals. Just have a mechanic review this; you might need a new pump or other parts.

The last guy is a idot.. but you also a idot. When you replace the pump there is air in the system that you have to bleed out… the pump is not designed to pump air

The other guy was right. I replaced the pump again. Works great. This Taurus doesn't need to be bled. Air comes out the filler when fluid goes in.
