you can still drive the car but its not recommended, its pretty hard on the power steering pump
Why is your car still leaking power steering fluid and you just got it fixed?
If you got it fixed at a repair shop or a dealer I'd take it back and have them fix it. If you fixed it yourself, it could be as simple as that you forgot to replace an o-ring on the power steering pump line.. If I knew where it was leaking, I could help you pin point the problem.
Can you drive your car with no steering wheel liquid?
Power steering fluid is needed to keep the power steering operating correctly. However in an emergency you can still steer the vehicle without power steering fluid, it is just really hard to turn the wheel without the power assist.

How do you tell if it's the pump or the hose leaking power steering in a Chevy Monte Carlo?
Turn your vehicle off and then wipe the excess fluid from the power steering pump and line. Survey the power steering pump to see if their are any holes or dings. It may be hard to see so try using your hand to feel around. You may have to wait for engine to cool. If you did not find any leeks then top off the power steering fluid. Watch the power steering line while having a partner or friend turn the engine on and turn the steering wheel fully in one direction and the same in the opposite direction. Watch the power steering line to see how far up it is leaking. If you can not see where it is leaking because of too much fluid leaking, then re-wipe and try again. If you still can't tell then take the line off and make sure the hole on the pump where the bolt goes in is not damaged. Then make sure the bolt itself is not damaged.If the hole or pump is damaged then you need a new pump and if the line or bolt is damaged you need a new line.
Where is power steering fluid located on 2005 Saturn ion?
There probably is no power steering fluid in the 05 Saturn. Saturn employs an electric assisted power steering system that still has a rack and pinion, but is electrically operated. A much easier, more bulletproof design in my opinion.

Can you still drive your car if rack and pinion is leaking Is disconnecting the belt from the power steering pump an option Do rack and pinion leakages end in complete loss of steering?
Yes, the vehicle is still driveable, assuming total fluid loss from the leak isn't instant. No, disconnecting the belt is not an option, it will just make it really hard to steer and will still leak. If the entire system is drained of fluid then yes, total loss of steering is possible, though unlikely, as long as the fluid reservoir is never allowed to empty. That said, repair should be made sooner than later. The leaking oil is not very enviro-friendly and you will either spend money on fluid now and the repair later or you will spend money on the repair now and not on fluid at all. Do the math.
How do you remove power steering hose?
I need to know how to replace the hoses on my power steering system. I also need to know what type of hydraulic fluid and steering fluid it takes?? If my head gasket is bad and I put stop leak then why is it still overheating?? Where is the water going!!!
Does electric power steering still use hydraulic fluid?
It depends on the system. Some do,some don't.
