Jim is right. The power steering has a pressure and return line, and the only way it will suck air in is turning the wheel with the reservoir low/empty. These systems bleed themselves with use, engine running turning wheel. It will not damage tires either, that's why some guys jack the front end up --to not scuff tires.
