Is it leaking so badly that you cannot keep filling it at short intervals? I ask because you claim driving with no PS is no biggie for you. I can assure you driving with no PS is a HUGE BIGGIE and likely to get you in serious legal trouble if you are caught. I have not looked at the belt routing but taking one pulley out of the route and trying to bypass may cause a shorter belt to interfere with other "things". The only option I can think of is leave the PS pump and belt in place; disconnect the hoses; and disconnect whatever linkage goes to the steering arm(s). Whether or not this would work I have no clue but it did work on my '65 Mustang.
Yes, as soon as you start it, it's starts leaking.
Hahaha, def don't think I'm gonna go to jail for bypassing my PS.
Shorter belt won't have any interference, I've already looked.
Disconnect the PS Hoses from the pump and all? Really? Seriously? Just how long do you think the PS Pump is gonna last with no fluid in it before it seizes up, and creates a bigger mess than what I'm dealing with now.
Found where the leak is coming from, and it's where the pressure line runs across the front of the Jeep, along the Crossmember. Yea, the $400 hose that takes hours to replace (from what I've read so far) because it's all 1 long piece.
