I was driving home today and made a left turn. To my surprise the power to the brakes didnt work and the power steering wasnt working either. I have check the belts and for any leaks everything lookes fine. HELP

You have what is called a hyrovac unit that controls both he power steering and brakes. Either the power steering fluid is low or you have a failure of the pump or the hyrovac unit itself.
Take it to a shop and let them do a pressure test to confirm.
