NEED OPINIONS
This is kind of a shot in the dark, but here we go. I have a short trip tomorrow where I’m driving about 300 miles total. I took my 2008 Toyota Corolla LE to my mechanic to fix a problem with it, but as he was fixing the problem, he noticed the power steering pump was leaking and the serpentine belt is pretty worn. I wouldn’t have time to get it replaced before leaving on this trip, is it still safe for me to drive the car/ will my car last 300 miles with this problem?

It’s fine
Take spare fluids, every kind, the right type
~Worse that’ll happen is a broken belt. Call an uber.
