Driving Without Power Steering

Hey everyone, I just have a quick question. My 06 3i leaked out almost all the power steering fluid in the reservoir overnight and I haven't found where it is leaking from yet (it's been raining non-stop). I pulled the fuse for the electric pump so it doesn't get damaged. Does anyone know if it will be ok to drive like this without damaging the rack?

I am not familiar with how the steering rack in these cars is setup. Also there is a bunch of fluid around the pump so I am assuming the leak is high up in the system, so the rack should not completely drain if that makes a difference.
 
Wow, didn't realize this place was so dead.

Managed to find the leak. I am just going to run it as is and keep throwing more atf in until I can replace the pump head.
