Please help
I just changed the timing belt kit on my 04 TL and everything sounded good after it was done i drove home and it was about a 30 min drive and it was running smooth and once I arrived home I realized my power steering pump was overflowing alot and know my steering wheel is very stiff. I tried leaving the car on for a while and tried moving the wheel buts it's really stiff

This is probably better in the 3G TL forum.
Third Generation TL (2004-2008) - AcuraZine Community
Sounds like whoever did the work left the cap off of the PS reservoir and the fluid went everywhere. So loss of fluid = loss of power steering.

Likely pulling air in from somewhere. Maybe they didn't re-tighten the inlet hose connections, or cracked a hose. Could have even dropped the o-ring gasket or not notice it missing when reinstalling.
I'd confirm with the mechanic what they removed in relation to the power steering pump and components...I assume someone else did the work since you state that you "after it was done i drove home."
