You might have water or another fluid in the power steering pump. Prior to replacing the unit, I'd try replacing the fluid.
There's no drain plug that I know of, so you'll have to siphon the old fluid out. Replace with good quality ps fluid, and give it some time to work. Keep in mind that there will still be a good quantity of old stuff in there, so you may have to repeat.
