Yes, a Power Steering pump can leak because of overfill or cold weather. As the seals are damaged due to pressure from overfill or due to freezing, the pump can leak.

Why does your power steering on your 2000 Suburban shut down momentarily in cold weather and power will resume if you continue to turn the wheel Is this in your pump or your stearing assembly?

I am not a pro, but I think that the valves are sticking in the steering gear. I just had a similar problem and was told that you can have the steering system flushed but 99% of the time, that doesn't work. Change the steering gear out, that was what I ended up doing and it wasn't very hard.
