So my 240SX hatch have a power steering leak from the rack, and I have plans of going to autocross next week. It is safe or ok to autocross it when the power steering leaks? thx

That's ghetto.

You might not pass tech.

Spilling oil all over the track will ruin the experience for everyone else who is paying to go.

You gone to need a lot of fluid, and you gone to leave a mess. Not worth it, just fix the problem. Most of the time its the HP hose, unless you sure its the rack.

if its a sanctioned event they wont let you near the course with a leak. Fix it and stop being lazy/cheap.
