(Newbie) Power Steering failed. Does it have anything to do with my rear drum cylinders leaking?

Hi Everyone,

Not the most experienced car owner here, but this morning I needed to drive to work, despite the fact my rear brakes have almost totally failed. I have the car booked in to a mechanic who knows how to fix the problem next Monday morning. However, went to start the car and set off for work today, but then noticed the Power Steering is totally absent. Not sure what I'm dealing with, so I left the car parked in the car park. Is the Power Steering failure connected to my shot drums?

Thanks in advance for any explanation,

Tom
