If power steering fluid is put in the brake fluid container, can it cause damage?
We accidentally added power steering fluid to the brake fluid in the engine of the 4runner today. Since the p.s. fluid is lighter, it rises. So we over-filled the brake fluid til it seemed all the p.s. fluid was out - but can this cause damage to the brakes? Do we need to have the brake line flushed?
For you I would recommend a system flush.
If I did it on my own car I would get my wives baster from the kitchen and suck out ALL the fluid from the reservoir and refill it with the proper fluid.
