Take the bottom hose off the power steering tank, after putting a bucket underneath to catch the oil. Get a funnel that you can jam into the hose. With a 5ltr bottle of power steering fluid get someone to start her up and pour the fluid into the funnel. Do this until you have used about half a bottle, and the fluid that enters the tank has no air in it. Stop the engine. re-fit the hose, fill tank with fluid. Start engine again and keep putting fluid into tank until it comes thru with no air and the level is correct. The system has now been flushed, and is full of fresh oil. If it still does it then I would suspect a faulty pump. Get someone to check the fluid return, by operating the steering while you look into the tank. The fluid flows into the tank when the steering is left alone. But when you start turning it, the fluid stops flowing into the tank. See if it still comes into the tank when operating the steering?
