It sound like your power steering cooler is leaking into the cooling system. The easiest way to fix it is to just take the power steering cooler out of the system and purchase the upper radiator hose that is used without the cooler. Other than that you will need to trim a power steering line to length and you should be good.

If you search on here there are quite a few threads on this issue.

This is exactly correct.

If you look in the General Maintenance and Repairs section, you will find a huge sticky right at the top that covers this. Here is a link:

Both systems will need to be flushed to remove the cross-contamination.
