Could the booster and power steering pump went bad? What are the chance of both of that went bad at the same time? Thanks again

You could have a bad power steering pump. Your van has a hydro booster (for power brakes) that runs off the power steering fluid pressure. So if your steering fluid level is good you could have a broken power steering pump.
