Yesterday a rubber burning smell was coming from under the hood.I looked under there but saw no hoses leaking and there was no smoke. today there is a loud squeeling noise from under the front of the car.it squeels at any time, weather i push on the gas or brakes or turn the steering wheel. it starts and stops. i dont use the a/c, havnt in about a year
Worn or loose serp belt
Most likely a belt problem or a worn out tensioner. You left off the year, make, model and engine so it's a guessing gamet. Read this post on how to track down the source of noise

SOURCE: FRONT LEFT SIDE BRAKE NOISE & BINDING
It may be caused by Disc Thickness Variation, which occurs when the pads brush the sides of an out of alignment rotor. Also, it could be that the rotors need to be resurfaced due to poor surface finish. I have also seen that when the brakes drag on the pads (DTV) that any pad dust will collect in the low spots and squeal after braking. I would recommend dropping the calipers and thoroughly cleaning the rotors and pads off with warm soapy water and a rag. I don't recommend brake cleaner or silencing sprays because they just add un-needed material to a contact surface and can actually cause noise and prevent full pad contact.

I can also suggest checking the hub face with a roller-tipped dial indicator gauge to confirm that it doesn't have any lateral run-out. Run-out of over .002" would be out of spec.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!! Please don't forget to rate!

SOURCE: steering wheel is very stiff.
You will need to check your serpentine belt, and if the belt is good, it sounds like your power steering pump may be locking up. This would be a difficult job, so you may have to take it to a shop. Check your power steering fluid as well. If the pump has a leak and no fluid it may be burnt up already.

Any moisture that comes in contact with the pulley or belt will cause the belt to squeak, or squeal...this is telling you that the belt is slipping, and will possibly affect the smoothness of your steering manuevers...be sure to check the power steering connection lines before replacing the pump...Hope this helps.
