After learning I had a slow PS fluid leak in the rack and pinion that I couldn't afford (~$800), I was going through about 1 bottle every 24 hours. The other day, I was driving, heard a noise and had smoke coming from the hood and power steering went completely out. I'm guessing something like a hose or something went. My question is if my car is ok to drive with no power steering fluid running through the system at all. I would only be driving for a period of around 10 minutes or so - no long durations. Could I possibly burn something else up and royally screw up the car? Any insite would be helpful.
