Definitely not recommended...your engine depends on this pump to circulate cooling water to remove heat. Without it, heat builds and the car will overheat, and may cause permanent, expensive damage to the engine. the question is how much fluid do you lose on your drive as well as do you mind putting water or coolant in the car everytime you crank it up, if its a short drive and you have spare jugs of coolant or water then go ahead, BUT you should NOT do this longer than you have to (til you can get it fixed) bad pump = loss of coolant = overheating = blown head gasket = $800 and up fix
