Where is it leaking from? Bottom or top? I would say you are safe if
you drive slowly and carefully. The spring is still there after all,
but the shock absorbing capabilites of the srut are gone. This means
that bumps and other irregularities in the road will send your car
bouncing up and down uncontrollably if it gets bad enough. I say it's
ok, but be careful. Definitely don't drive more than 150 miles on it.
