Power steering whine (clutch in) and a smoke problem

So Right after i fixed my slave cylinder, i have this power steering whine when i press the clutch in and even slightly rev the engine (such as going to back out/take off/ or shift while driving) Just replaced the power steering pump about 10 months ago. Could it really go out that fast.

and for the second problem. its been smoking a lot lately, like on start ups, or after a WOT, sometimes after i give it a little gas after a long decel. From what i know i dont think its a coolant leak because engine temp has not rose past half EVER. And i was told that a coolant leak would be constant smoke. And coolant level has not dropped.

Any help on these problems would be very much appreaciated, thank you.
