You need to turn the wheels lock to lock and then observe.

When adding power steering fluid, you need to slowly go lock to lock to bleed the system to get all air out of the lines. If it is overfilled, it will burp out the excess fluid.

True story.. What you describe happened to my mother every time she made a hard left turn.. Turns out there was a defect on something and it only showed up when she made a hard left. tore up the seal on teh power steering slave and that was that.

Took quite some time before a mechanic was hired by the new owner of the dealership who was smart enough to figure it out.
