If the biggest concern is a steering fluid leak from the rack, and replacement time is 7 hours you may want to try adding a bottle of Lucas Power Steering treatment to it. This is a goopy additive like STP for engines; it does not fix anything but it can dramatically slow down a rack leak if you a re just trying to buy a couple months. I once had a Geo beater car that used a quart a week; this stuff slowed it down to a quart every 2 months.

I would advise you to not have these repairs done if you are going to only have the car for a few months; you will not get anywhere near the cost of repairs back in increased sale price when you trade it in. Perhaps trading it in now would be a much better idea.

Where is it leaking from? The pressure hose or the pump itself?

PS leaks are fairly affordable and straightforward to fix, so rather than trying to "divert the leak", you're better off fixing it. PS fluid is flammable, so you run the risk of it splashing on the exhaust manifold and catching fire.

You should be able to find both the pump & PS hose at a junkyard for under $100. Simple hand tools to replace.

If it's a minor leak, you could try your luck with Lucas PS stop leak. It's about one of the only "stop leak" products that actually works.

Get a turkey baster from the dollar store. Remove as much fluid as you can from the p/s fluid reservoir. Dump in some Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak.

It will probably stop or significantly slow your leak. If it doesn't work, you haven't lost much money.
