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?

The level looks good but I will check again.

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