: Power steering ?

I don't drive my truck everyday, but I came home the other night and noticed I had quite a bit of what looked to be oil laying underneath it..... So upon further inspection I realized it was power steering fluid... So when I went to open and check the fluid, it was pressurized and squirted out???? I was confused because I thought the power steering pump only built up pressure if at all while in use, not just sitting there. I guess my ? is why did this happen? Has this happened to anyone else? My truck is a 2007 Classic, with exactly 20K on the clock, and the only fluid that has been touched was the oil and filter......
