Power Steering issues

ok guys heres what I have, replaced master cylinder but did not bench bled,I did bled the brakes also filled power steering turned wheels and added more to level. Now when I turn the wheels in park everything ok but when I put it into drive the wheel stop halfway and than there smoke and the smell of burning rubber from the dog house also the fan slows down and stops as I turn the wheel, It all goes away when I let the wheel go. Does this have anything to with the Hydro boost system?

    Sounds like a belt issue. Verify belt alignment and tensioning.

    I did take the belt off and put back on again

    Could you have put in too much power steering fluid which is overflowing and spraying on hot engine parts and the belts when you turn the wheel?

    The level looks good but I will check again.
