Default Power Steering Problem

ok, i had my clutch changed about a month ago and after i got it back my power steering does not work. The is fluid in the resivoir, but i am not sure that it is getting pumped through the system. when i open it, it smells burnt. also when i turn i get this werid sound coming from the wheel wells. My friend said that what it sounds like when the fluid isnt getting pumped. Another thing is that now i often lose traction and i get squeaking from the tires. some one said it was alignment, but i dunno. Can anyone help me out here?

I have a 1992 Honda Accord LX.

Did they put the speed sensor back into the differential housing of the trans? there are 2 P/S fluid lines that go to the speed sensor. Maybe they got crimped??
When the engine is running you should see the P/S fluid circulate in the reservoir.
When you find thee problem I'd say go ahead and change the P/S fluid with Honda fluid
