Could be you slosh the fluid to one side of the reservor in the turn; but I think that would only matter if the fluid level inthe reservor were pretty low. Check the fluid level and fill with reccomended fluid (call dealer if you don't know) and check to see if the Power Steering still goes out in a turn. Check for leakage of power steering fluid. Some times some one forget to put the cap back on and the fluid sloshes out... these caps can be had at most auto parts stores. Go buy a Haynes Automotive Service Manual for your vehicle and check your local library for On-line resources for auto repair info.
