I'm not sure if this disqualifies me from the auto-x, but if it doesn't, it may mean I forfeit based on your input.

I'm bringing the PS bottle with me along with a full compliment of road trip supplies: coolant, jumper battery, full tool kit and oil. Any input on the PS fluid issue is welcome. I hope the leak won't get any worse, but you never know. Whats the worst case scenario if the system runs dry? No power steering? Or worse?
I will leave a bottle of some great power steering stop leak at the hotel. I will leave it for Blackend since he is getting there first. The SCCA will only disqualify you if they see a decent leak during tech inspection. Before tech wipe around the leak with a rag and you will be just fine.
