    Is there a power steering cooler? If there is, check that it isn't plugged and that the fins aren't all folded over.

    Power steering is pretty much hydraulics. Heat is generated from working or internal fluid leakage (unlikely since it sounds like everything is new). Also restrictions to fluid flow generate heat.
