you need to bleed the air out of the power steering system...

Bleeding procedure:

1. Raise front of vehicle until wheels are clear of the ground

2. With engine off, add fluid into tank to specified level, leave the cap off..then turn steering wheel quickly from left to right about 10 times,lightly touching the steering stoppers..repeat procedure until fluid level stops going down.

3. Start engine, then repeat step 2 with the engine running.

It didn't work. I'm starting to believe that power steering pump is going bad. What do you think?

Replacing the pump would be the next logical step...

Would a worn out belt cause this problem? It only happen when I'm doing a u turn or when I turn steering wheel on a complete stop.
