Put power steering fluid in my honda and it "gulped" every last bit of it and blew the cap in a matter of 1 minute. it was wrecked back in june and it still needs a front end alignment but i dont think thats gonna fix my problem. i dont know much about cars and we cant seem to find a visible leak anywhere. there was also smoke coming from the hood in the back closest to the windshield. smelt like burnt power steering fluid

Probably leaking there and hitting your hot exhaust.
Even a new hose will probably give you sticker shock. 1 hour +, labor cost. You may have to pull things away to find the leak. Use rags, wipe everything down, and look for leak source. Good luck.. If it is a hose, might try a salvage yard for a replacement.
thanks. the power steering gets easier as i drive it but only have driven it twice since the wreck to take it to and from repairs. hopefully it is a hose and not the whole rack or pump. maybe ill get a good eye later and find the leak myself. thanks again for the advice.
