My power steering rack would not hold fluid a  few months before it was
undriveable, then I had to change it.  (I bought the car with a ripped
passenger side boot...it didn't even hold fluid then (February 96-August
96) During this time I didn't have any fluid in the rack and it lasted
quite some time (I think it was more or less the inner tie-rods that
finally went). However, it didn't seem to ruin the pump. The steering
will feel a lot harder, un-even, and not so smooth a turn than even the
non-powered steering.
