Brake Fluid in My Power Steering Fluid Reservior, Doh!

[Bobster66]

Half asleep, I picked up a bottle of brake fluid and dumped a few ounces into my power steering fluid reservior.

I do know that the opposite, P/S fluid in the brake system will ruin it, but I don't see how the brake fluid should do any damage to the P/S system. A flush of the system and refill of the proper fluid should be satisfatory. Or am I wrong, and the brake fluid will bring the world crashing down around me?

I doubt the world will crash down on you, It should be fine even with out flushing. Expetually if you dont have but a lil bit.

Brake fluid is corrosive and there is a chance it might wreck the seals in the power steering pump. For what it's worth it's probably best to flush the system. Better safe than sorry
