I have a 1998 Olds Cutlass, 110,000 miles. All of a sudden on morning the power steering went out. We went to the parts store and bought some and filled it back up. I ran fine all day. THe next morning, same thing. No power steering, we noticed a leak....this fluid was to fix them too. What do you think could be causing this? Is it dangerous to drive it with out power steering?

you really need to check further to find out where the leak is from , here are the possibilities ,the pump itself or reservoir , the steering rack , check the boots to see if they are leaking fluid ,you will need to get under the car for this , or the power steering lines
