There really isn't an easy way to bypass the PS pulley.
If for whatever reason you have to drive it like it is, before getting it fixed, maybe try adding PS fluid with stopleak in it. Top it off, drive for a couple hours, top it off again. It's not ideal, but that might work for you short-term.

If its leaking from the steel line try getting a piece of transmission rubber hose and slit it vertically to wrap around the steel line and use 2 hose clamps on it, that should hold temporarily. Kind of like you wrap the clutch line with heater hose. But get it right over the hole in it. If thats where it is leaking.

OK guys thanx for your advices, car was brought home 
I kept topping it (although it didn't loose much fluid over 4.5 hours). Leak is from connection of metal line to pump (?) body. Will try to fasten this connection. However, now I have much much more serious problems, I'll make new topic now.
