There is a seal on the shaft, under the boot. The boot is just to protect the seal. One of two things happen. Pick one. The seal was leaking. Allowing fluid to build up in the boot. When you turned the steering wheel to the one side. The fluid had no where to go. So it ripped the boot open. OR. The boot ripped and allowed dirt to get on the shaft. Destroying the seal, causing the fluid loss.
