overheating problem on 1990 supra turbo

yeah i blew the powersteering pump and rack and theres no power assistance at all. Im from Nebraska and we took it to a place called "2 guys and a shop", who are mechanics that used to work for the toyota dealership.
when we drove it out we started noticing a little white smoke from the engine and it was overheating a little, but right when we noticed it we took it home so we were only got about 10 minutes.we took it home and popped the hood and saw that smoke was coming out between the engine and the radiator so it looked like we blew the water pump, and shortly after we brought it home we saw a puddle of anti freeze. But they say its a water pump line that sounds like what your talking about.. cause its hard to get to and it will take lots of labor to reach and fix. They havent actually ripped it apart and looked at it but thats what there saying happened. the leak was dripping right by the water pump maby within 6 inches to a foot around it. and was hard to see where it was coming from, and we only looked at it for about 15 minutes before we shut it off because we were confident it was from the water pump.
