Power Steering Fluid + Leak?

So about a week ago I was driving around town and came to a stop and a puff of smoke came up from under the hood, not much just noticeable - I drove the car maybe 3 more times last week and the same thing happened whenever I would park the car - not stop signs just when parking in a parking spot - the power steering fluid was leaking and burning off as that was the fluid that was low - the fluid itself looked perfectly fine. I topped the fluid off (with fluid from the saab dealer, so it's the right fluid) and left for the weekend to Spokane in my other car. I left the Saab at home for my wife to drive to work and back (only Friday, she was off Sat / Sun. I informed her only to drive to work and back, and she did. (about 20 miles round trip)
Anyway today I went to move the Saab out of the garage to park the other car inside and I heard a terrible groaning (obviously PS pump.) I checked the fluid and it went from normal dark color to LIGHT BROWN. The Saab is parked and I don't intend to drive it until I figure out what's wrong. Any comments - picture attached...
