A pic would help. Sometimes if a power steering hose leaks it sprays on to the exhaust header and gives off an intense burning smell. PS fluid is under pressure so it can spray far. If it was a leak in the brake fluid you would know it right away, as the brake pedal would sink to the floor and you would lose braking.
