Unlike some transmission fluids, power steering fluid is not manufacturer specific; any high quality power steering fluid will do.
Brake fluid in the oil won't be much of a problem. It probably won't hurt anything, but to be on the safe side, just change the oil. In the power steering pump it will be harder to get out. You'll have to disconnect the high pressure line and let it pump out, then re-fill it with power steering fluid.

In the engine compartment,passenger side,up high by the wheel well,by your oil filter,above the side upper motor mount.It is a canister about the size of a 12oz. soda can,it has a cap that when you turn it left and remove it, it has your power steering dipstick attached to it. Fill the canister with your power steering fluid to the "full" level on the dipstick.
If you open the hood and stand in front of the engine, the power steering unit is located behind the radiator on to your left. Look at when the belts are and you will see a silver cap about 2" in diameter. Unscrew the cap and there is a dipstick on it indicating how high to fill the reservior. Use Dextron 3 automatic transmission fluid, there is no need to buy special power steering fluid. VBdenny
To assemble the power steering system on a 1993 Isuzu medium duty truck, first, secure the power steering pump to the engine using the appropriate mounting brackets and bolts. Connect the high-pressure and return hoses to the pump and the steering gear, ensuring they are tightened properly to prevent leaks. Then, install the power steering fluid reservoir and fill it with the recommended fluid. Finally, check for any leaks and ensure the system is properly bled of air before testing the steering operation.
To replace the power steering high-pressure hose on a Suzuki Grand Vitara, first, safely lift the vehicle and remove the front wheel for better access. Drain the power steering fluid and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Unbolt the old high-pressure hose from the power steering pump and the steering gear, then remove it. Install the new hose by reversing the removal steps, ensuring all connections are secure, and refill the power steering fluid before testing the system for leaks.
To replace the power steering high side hose on a Hyundai XG350, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing any components obstructing access to the hose. Drain the power steering fluid, then disconnect the hose from the power steering pump and the steering gear using appropriate tools. Install the new hose by connecting it to both ends, ensuring all fittings are secure, and then refill the power steering fluid to the recommended level before starting the engine to check for leaks.
For the 2.7 L V6 engine, if you suspect a power steering fluid leak after doing a visual inspection, check the fluid in your PS fluid reservoir which is on the passenger side near the front of the engine bay. If it is low, and you see fluid present, you may have a leak in your PS pump or one of the power steering hoses (high pressure hose leaks are common on high mileage Optimas).This link shows good photos concerning the issue.http://kiaoptimaservice.blogspot.com/search/label/power%20steering%20pump
Power steering systems can be diagrammed into two chief components. These are the power steering pump and the rack-and-pinion steering gear. The power steering pump sends pressurized fluid into the rack which moves the gear actuating the tie-rods, which moves the wheels in the desired direction. The power steering pump has a low pressure return line and high pressure out one.
In a Celebrity rack and pinion steering system, the high-pressure side is typically the line that carries fluid from the power steering pump to the rack. This side delivers pressurized fluid to assist in steering, making it easier to turn the wheels. The low-pressure side returns the fluid from the rack back to the reservoir, completing the system's hydraulic cycle.
To replace the power steering line on a 1996 Oldsmobile Ciera, start by safely lifting and securing the vehicle. Drain the power steering fluid, then locate the high-pressure and return lines connected to the power steering pump and the steering gear. Use a wrench to disconnect the old lines, and then install the new lines, ensuring all connections are tight. Finally, refill the power steering fluid and check for leaks before testing the system.
