Power Steering stopped working.

Power Steering stopped working.
I was wheeling my 89 (1st Gen) 4runner after about an hour of wheeling I lost power steering. PS reservoir was full, didn't look to be boiling. It obviously was leaking from the PS cap. I trailered it home, started it up and PS was working again.
It has a new PS pump, new steering box, new lines, I have driven it on the street prior to wheeling it with not problems. What would cause the PS to temporary stop working?
I am using PS fluid not ATF.

It's says "Use Dexron type ATF" on my can. With you wheeling your ride and heating up the PS fluid, go synthetic. Redline D4 ATF is a very good synthetic tranny fluid that I have used in my Ford F350 before. I haven't used it yet in my 4Runner...yet. Expensive but worth it to me. Check out this link:
