Yes you are ok to drive it Honey, if the fluid tank becomes empty the steering will be very heavt to turn, it may be just a washer that has perished or a pipe joint come loose, or pipe has a hole in it, its noty a big job to do depending on your car! do not go to a dealer.

If you need a pipe replacement .. don't go to Nissan unless you are feeling flush.
Call Pirtek and find the local mobile man/van ... or go to one of their places with the pipe if possible. Much cheaper and quicker option to fix the problem.
I bet its a resevoir structure leak, or a hose failing.
Keeep it topped up in the interim. Al.
