Joy,

You could have a pinhole leak in the high pressure line which is small
enough that no fluid escapes until you turn the steering wheel all the
way to the left or the right (into the "Stops").  When the wheels are
turned to their extremes, the pressure is much higher than when you are
driving normally.
