Subject:Consensus wanted....OK to drive with power steering belt detached for awhile???

Hello All:

My second Power Steering question of the day...

Awhile ago there was discussion on the list whether it
is OK to drive the Vanagon with the Power Steering
disabled (take belt off). I never did find out what
the popular wisdom was..but I want to do this soon as
possible. My leak is getting worse and I don't want to
have to keep filling it constantly...and I also don't
want to burn up my PS Pump.

Does it damage anything to drive it with "manual"
steering for awhile, without the Power Steering belt
attached???

Please respond asap as I'd like to d this today....

Thanks!
Kevin
