Help car died on the way home, 95 ST Options

[jesse09]

Need some help as I'm not very mechanically inclined and would like to avoid mechanic costs. My celica died on my as soon as I got home. As I made a turn the battery and oil light came as the car died. Id say it's about a 15 minute drive. Checked oil levels and they were good. Temperature needle was good also. There seemed to be some steam coming from the power steering reservoir area from which I had a problem previously

About 2 weeks ago it started spraying water around the power steering reservoir area, couldn't really pinpoint the location as it was dark. I filled it with water and it ran fine until today.

If anyone know what could be the problem and how easy/hard it may be to fix pleas help lol thanks for the read. And here's a picture of the hose area where I think the original leak came from

Is the check engine light staying on?

If water is leaking on the passenger side of the block it could be at the thermostat housing, but I'm speaking as if it were a GT. I'm not familiar with the ST. Or could be the water pump, but if it's not overheating I doubt that's the case.

If it's cranking back up that rules out battery and/or alternator. Does the ST have a tensioner pulley for the serpentine belts? My old Acura died on me once going down the road and I could smell something like rubber burning and saw a little smoke rise when I popped the hood. It turned out to be the bearing in the tensioner pulley had gave out and seized up.

What kind of problem did you have with the power steering?
