G37 steering wheel making noise burning smell when turning

So something is wrong with my g37x steering wheel. When I drive slow around turns it makes an awful sound of like friction it's very hard for me to park my car in a lot and back out as my steering barely turns but seems to work like nothing is wrong when I go fast. My fluids have checked out fine.. dunno what's causing it. Anybody have suggestions? Brought it to my mechanic he thinks it's a leaking hose but that still wouldn't explain my situation.. at least I would think.

Also seems to smell up my car of rubber or something when I turn...

Your power steering pump sounds like fluid ran dry and the pump is burning out. Check power steering fluid.

If you have fluid and the reservoir is supplying, but its still acting up at low speeds, I would say your pump might be on its way out. Sadly mine is on the way out as well, just starting to make some funky noises. DIY here I come!

Fluid is fine? Then perhaps the smell is coming from the belt burning? It could be loose/old, or the power steering pump is seizing and causing the belt to slip.

Does it happen when turning the wheel at full lock or even at less than that?
