    Brake Fluid vs. Power Steering Fluid

    Whilest changing to steal brake lines (and rushing) I accidently poured brake fluid into the power stearing fluid resevoir... I sucked as much of the mixed fluid out as I could with a small hose.

    I dont know much about these fluids. Am I fine or completely boned? Do I need to flush the PS system?

    Any advice helpful.

    knowing how corrosive brake fluid is, I would certainly flush it.

    Flush it. Have it done at a shop, they can use the Auto Trans flusher and flush it with ATF.
