I have a 2002 Nissan Xterra with 305k miles.  It's been a good sturdy vehicle.  Recently my power steering pressure line has cracked and I am spending a small fortune on keeping fluid in the system.  I looked into the cost of replacing the line and I honestly don't have the money to pay someone else to do it and I don't have the time.  Could I remove the belt from the pump and just drive it as if it were a manual steering box vehicle?  I am afraid to drive it too much because I worry fluid from the pressure line will get to the exhaust and cause a fire.  Is that a legitament concern?  Luckily I don't use it much these days because of Covid work from home life.  Thanks in advance.  Always enjoy your videos!
