Yes you can drive with a empty system, and yes you can damage the pump. The question is where is it leaking a hose or pump or res is an easy fix the Rack is a horse of another color. The pumps are pretty hardy and are readily avail in the bone yards. I got a used pump for my greenie but it was the hose that was loose, and I replaced the pump anyways.

First question Lucas is... Where is it leaking from?
If you have the same cold snap we are having in Calgary (-30 tonight) It wouldn't suprise me if the hose failed. But lots of other things can happen too.
