Hmm how does a leaky PS hose cause the sluggishness and humming sound when turning?

Power is taken from the engine to drive the power steering pump.

If the power steering is leaking, pressure is lost, and more power is drawn from the engine to try and maintain the power steering pressure.

The humming sound is from the power steering pump.
