Definitely the belt, but with possible waterpump/power steering pump involvement.
Determine what is leaking - coolant or power steering fluid.
Before replacing the belt, be sure both ancillaries are turning freely.
My guess is that one of them, the waterpump or power steering pump siezed which caused the belt to wear through and break.
Waterpump is most likely cause as you still had power steering until you hit your driveway. If the bearing seized, the seal is on the same shaft and likely went as well explaining the leak.
BTW, how many miles?
