If the coolant reservoir can not maintain the proper level of coolant, it is possible the engine could over heat when the level drops.
Can no coolant in reservoir cause engine not to start?
Coolant is used to keep an engine in a vehicle at a temperature safe for operation. If no coolant is in the reservoir, an engine will not start.
Can a temperature sending unit cause over heating?
It won't cause over heating.....but it can go bad and send a signal that the engine is over heating when it is not.
Can low levels of power steering fluids cause the car to overheat?
No. The power steering fluid has nothing to do with your cooling system. It goes from the reservoir to the pump to the steering rack and back again.

Check the power steering fluid level in the reservoir, it may be low or empty. Filling it will restore the power steering but only temporarily. The cause of the leak will have to be determined and repaired.
If you accidentally poured a small amount of power steering fluid instead of motor oil will it cause damage?
I would replace that unfortunate mixture with fresh power steering fluid using the recommended fluid for the type of vehichle. Some use ATF (automatic transmission fluid) or Mineral Type fluid or most commomly regular Power Steering Fluid. Now...to change the old fluid. Find the return line to the reservoir. This line will be near the top of the the reservoir and under much less pressure than the feed/suction line. With the engine OFF...disconnect the return line from the reservoir. Have a helper hold this hose into a bucket. Start the engine...do not rev it! SLOWLY turn the steering wheel all of the way to right..then all the way to the left..then return it to the center position. Turn off the engine. This will empty the system. NEXT..put the return hose back on and secure it. Fill the reservoir with new fluid and replace the cap. Start the engine and repeat the wheel turning step once again. Stop the engine and check the fluid level. Fill the reservoir to the specified level. PRESTO!!! You should be in good shape as far as the power steering fluid. . John In Montana
