Default missing power steering fluid cap

today i noticed that i was missing that red cap that goes on top of the power steering reservoir


did i mess up anything or will i mess up anything by driving like this

i know that i shouldn't because the fluid can come out but is there any other danger.

ps-does anyone have an extra one that they can mail me and i will send them a couple of bucks, i don't want to have to run to the junkyard.

it will just make a mess. you can just take your PS belt off and get more power. then drain the ps fluid down some so it dose not leak out.

i prefer power steering for autocrosses because it's a paint to go full lock in tight turns at 10mph without it.
