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.
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.
The equivalent to Hyundai Power Steering Fluid -3 is typically a high-quality power steering fluid that meets the specifications set by Hyundai. Many users also find that Dexron III or Dexron VI automatic transmission fluid can serve as a suitable alternative, although it's always best to check the vehicle's owner's manual for specific recommendations. Additionally, some aftermarket brands offer power steering fluids specifically designed for Hyundai vehicles.
There are three reasons why you would hear a whine in power steering. The first reason is when the steering wheel is turned to far. The fluid flow to the pump is cut off forcing the pump into pressure relief. The pump has to recirculate the high pressure fluid within itself because there is nowhere for this fluid to go. If this is done to long then the fluid can heat up causing the fluid to break down and causing parts inside the pump to experience metal-to-metal contact. A second reason why whining could occur is because of an increase in the pump speed. The more fluid that is forced through the ports at a time can causes a velocity and the fluid cannot move fast enough. The vanes inside the pump cause a vacuum, which will fill with oil vapor immediately. When the vane reaches the high pressure port a vacuum cell is opened and oil rushes in to fill the void. The third reason when the oil in the reservoir really gets churned up or is low. This will allow a bubble into the pump.
