    Burning? The power steering fluid? Check out your steering rack, see if the fluid is seeping out somewhere around there. It may just be an external leak seeping around the rack itself, but not dripping onto the ground. The fluid just doesnt go missing, so it's going SOMEWHERE, it's just going to take time to find it...

    just leave it in a clean spot for a while running and turn the steering wheel left and right and keep your eye on the fluid !
    it could be dripping from the rack end seals to rack boot ! so it'll take time to get to the ground !
