How strange.....AFAIK the two systems are totally separate...unless, by chance, your power steering is hooked up to the automatic transmission cooler inside the radiator. (???) PS is supposed to have its own little cooler (just a tube that snakes back and forth) mounted in front of the radiator and condenser.
