I've driven 2 Syncros for over 3 years without the PS belt on.
I little hard to get into tight areas, but no problems other then that.
check your local inspection. This may be an issue.

Even without the belt on, a lot of fluid is still leaking out, so I am guessing it will continue to drain until near dry.  Has anyone experienced hazards from driving with a "dry" power-steering rack?  Thank you for any thoughts.
