Help!! Sudden Power Steering Leak!!!!!

one day i was getting outta my parking space and i saw this fluid on the floor. it was power steering fluid. the problem is the pressure hose and a brand new costs close to 400 bux and i got no money to spend on that right now and i have to go to the track next week. the leak is not that bad, as long as i keep fillin up the resevior it turns good w/o making noise for couple of days. so my question is if i should race like that. the race consists of 5 sessions each one lasts round 25 min. i was thinkin i could check my fluid level before each session n see how its going. do you guys think i might screw something like that? is it too risky? or getting another hose is the only solution? please reply if u want to give me an advice or help me out. dont reply for anything else. this site is to get help n advices n not negative critism.
