The defect

Non oil-resistant heater hose was used instead of the correct power steering suction hose. This hose allows the power steering fluid to pass to the pump from the fluid reservoir. Hose will swell and fall out of place and the power steering fluid will leak out.

The remedy

Upon inspection, the correct hose will be installed if necessary.
