No oil pressure on turns?

So I was driving today and took a few turns and noticed my dashboard telling me to check a gauge. Lo and behold my oil pressure was at zero whenever I took a turn. So when I got home I added more oil. Seemed to fix the issue. But I’m not leaking oil all over the drivers side and on the bottom of the power steering pump. It ain’t the pump. The Valve Cover gasket is fine, so where is this leak coming from???

Maybe its not a leak. Maybe you are consuming it....valve guides, rings, etc.
