Default Power steering leaking abhorrently

its basically gone within 2 days. rather than keep buying fluid I am running without, damage to the pump at all?

I think its my high and low pressure hoses, although the pump is noisy and rough and covered in gunk.

and when I finally get the system clear and it is just the hoses, can I still use Additives WITH the ATF I put in there?

I would suggest buying either the PHR high pressure power steering line or Driftmotion.....the stock lines are a PITA...

Here is the PHR...it eliminates all the factory lines and goes directly from the pump to the rack

Yea I might give it a shot, but in the meantime I just want to make sure I am not destroying my pump by running it dry.

Is that just a specific brand of hose (complete kit) or something that changes the routing? I can't quite figure out what I'm looking at, and I'm not familiar with the SC300 setup...

My lower PS hose is looking like it needs to be replaced soon, so knowing the best options in advance would probably be wise.
