home, not once time overheating.. checked to see,
and saw just steam from the left side of radiator

Check power steering lines near radiator, I'm guessing that there's a hole in a line spraying on the radiator

You may have a pinhole in the radiator that's spraying on the serpentine belt and causing the belt to slip. Check the belt to see if it's wet. The belt drives the power steering pump. If it's slipping you'll lose power steering to at least some degree. Hope that helps! Jim

Another good possibility. I was suspicious of the power steering lines because it sounded like it started happening as he made a turn
