The power steering fix is pretty easy if you have an afternoon to waste. There is a tutorial on the planet soarer site.
http://www.planetsoarer.com/Power%20steering%20pump.htm. A new pump is quite expensive, so a re-seal kit is the way to go, (Should be able to get one through Neil) Or toyota. Part # 04446-24012.
You just need to buy the re-seal kit, a bearing (NTN 6303), and some fluid, and away you go. Just make sure you have a descent pair of circlip pliers, they can be a pain in the ass.

Serpentine belt is the front belt for the power steering etc. Easy to do, often people do the bearings while they are at it.
