Mine does the same thing. Just wondering why the shop manual says it shouldn't...

I went to go pick up the truck there was a 5" puddle of power steering fluid on the ground underneath it.
That's not good news. Did you ever see if your truck was part of the recall: Check Here
That recall sounds more to me like they finally decided to address, in a very limited fashion, the pump failures for the first gen Vortec era trucks. Seems like we read every few months here about someone who just suddenly lost power steering assist. Pump still "turning", fluid doing nothing, no pressure. The shaft shears off internally and the bearing continues to support the shaft/pulley combo so everything keeps happily spinning along, except no pump action. Doesn't generally result in leaking.
