Air is still getting into the PS system.
Some Honda/Acura V6 PS units require replacement of the PS inlet (low pressure side) hose O-ring at the PS pump. The O-ring is usually less than $1 at the dealer and takes about 5 minutes to replace by removing one bolt. A YouTube video showing O-ring replacement(albeit for an Accord V6, but same idea and physical parts placement) is at: 03 07 Honda Accord power steering fix - YouTube!.

Air is removed from the PS by turning the steering wheel lock-to-lock a few times slowly, or just driving a route with some turns for a bit.
