It's an easy fix since Brad's already doing an E36 rack swap-- all he needs are new PS lines and reservoir...which isn't expensive.

if you drain the rack it makes steering w/ no PS waaaay easier (and it won't leak). And I have had zero problems not having PS in my E30. Of course it is a bit lighter than yours...
NOW, when I do an S50 swap and put in a Z3 rack, I WILL have PS, because of the increased weight, and the decreased steering ratio.
But for a quick and easy fix for your leak now, and since you already removed your ps belt, you may as well drain the rack, it will stop the leaking and steering effort will be much less.

Driving Ben's and My E30 back to back aggressively pointed out just how much better a PS-equipped car is. So much more pleasant and confidence-inspiring to drive faster when you do have PS. I'm still kicking myself for not installing my spare e30 PS pump when I had the car....I wonder if I still have that.
