My 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Campmobile exhibits this symptom, but only if
I turn the wheels to full stop with some pressure.  I mentioned it to my
mechanic, and he told me that, "Sure, it is a Vanagon.  They do that."  The
power steering system has the proper ATF fill.  This has continued from the
time I got the camper 8 years ago, and after I replaced the leaking
steering rack (started leaking after I'd had it three years).   Must not be
a big problem.
