Hi,

POWER STEERING is disconnected as of last night because of the PS fluid
flood on my driveway front and back of the van.  Wasn't leaking visibly but
the reservoir was low.  Topped it up with Lucas PS Fluid with Conditioners
and it packed up front and back -- torrent of fluid on my driveway.)

HOW LONG CAN I DRIVE ON MANUAL STEERING???

-Do I need a new rack and pump?
-Recommendations?
-Can I trust Canadian Tire?
-Should I change out the hoses while I am at it?
-Hoses from http://www.frankcondelli.com/hose.htm ?  Anyone know of Frank?
 (Seems like a nice guy on his website.)  Does his idea seem good?
 Reasonable price?

Gabby
