What pisses me off is that Jack Daniels "fixed" my power steering leak -- Guess not!

Default Is it possible to drive the car without power steering fluid?
I know it is possible, just takes a lot of muscle, but I am not sure if it will hurt other parts. Anyhow, I don't think it is a good idea to just put average stuff in there.

Yeah, I feel I will burn something out if I drive without fluid.
