HELP!!! I accidentally just put a bit (a couple gulps) of brake fluid into my power steering reservoir, and don't know what I should do! ... I was coming home from a friends and i knew i had to top up my power steering fluid before i left, but i accidentally grabbed the wrong yellow bottle when i was at the gas station, and didn't realize until after a few gulps but then i stopped and quickly added power steering fluid and drove home. it's now parked in my garage and i don't know what to do!

... I tried to siphon whatever i can get out, but i didn't have a long enough to hose to reach down for enough to get any liquids at all!

You need to flush the system, remove the return hose fom pump, block the port on the pump, run fresh p/s fluid into the pump and it will flush the old fluid into a catch can from the return line.

so my power steering fluid leaks (that`s why i gotta top it up (gotta get that fixed)) but anyways, i noticed today that underneath my jimmy there was a puddle, i wonder if that's brake fluid that might have leaked out?

Smell it and see if it is the same as brake fluid, distinctive odor.
