Power steering Overflow after parked

Hello Happy Campers! I have a 2016 Thor Vegas 25.2 with 25K miles on it. I pulled it out for a monthly excersice. The next morning I found Poweer steering fluid under the motorhome. Power steering fluid was leaking out of the top of the resevoir at the filler neck/cap. Has anyone ever heard of this or has it happened to anyone you know and what was the cause and cure?
Thank you,
Chuck

First thing that comes to mind is over filling. There is a full cold, and a full hot level on the dipstick normally, and if you fill it to the full hot, when it's cold, it will expand and overflow.

Hello HarryS, I totally agree with you. This has puzzled me because I have never had to add any power steering fluid. I have owned it 5 years. Drove from NC to California and back. Been on numerous shorter trips and just never had seen this before. I have been on the internet looking around and just havnt found an answer. I took it out for a 15 mile drive today. Got back and nothing has happened. Fluid is in between the marks. I will check for leaks in am. Thank you for your help.
Chuck
