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

Check engine light does not come on. It used to screech from one of the belts a few weeks ago but hadn't been doing it anymore lately. The area where the smoke comes from is fairlyclose to the belts. That gives me a starting point, would that cause a water leaks?

The power steering leaks very slowly, I fill it like once every few months
