My Buick Regal super charger 1998 steering wheel got hard to turn while driving along and the temperature light came on and the car started running hot, even though it's not smoking.
Do you mean the engine overheat warning? The power steering problem is most likely a defective steering rack, they always act up when hot due to internal seal leakage and fluid bypassing the seal.
no, I found out the bracket broke on the compressor and my friend thinks the bolt broke inside of the compressor. Before my friend got a chance to look at the car, I accidental poured power steering fluid where the red stick not thinking it was the transmission stick located under the hood. Do you think it would of caused the car to smoke? Help

If the belts were soaked with power steering fluid, Yes both are possible.

Nothing on the A/C bracket will cause the car not to turn over. But the A/C compressor can lock up and do that. Possibly the reason the bracket broke. You dumped power steering fluid in the transmission dip stick tube? If it was power steering fluid, then drain it, you transmission will not last long with it in there. Most people use transmission fluid for the power steering. If you did. Depends on how much you put in the transmission. When the transmission gets hot it will blow out transmission fluid from the top. Everywhere. Yes it will get on the exhaust and smoke like a freight train.
