All the cooling system hoses will go soft and then fail leading to over heat and engine damage.
If enough Power Steering fluid in in the cooling system the engine will over heat and fail.
Drain all fluid, use dish washer soap and fresh clean water and run until engine at normal operating temp. Do this twice and flush with fresh clean water three times. Refill system with specified coolant.
If this is the very rare kind of car that has power steering cooled by radiator the power steering pump and gear (rack and pinion assembly usually) will fail.

Why does power steering fluid mix in radiator?
Power steering fluid, because of the friction, requires cooling. Sometimes this is done by putting cooling fins on part of the pipe that the fluid runs thru. Other times there is a small loop with cooling fins like a mini radiator next to the power steering pump. And finally the design may actually bring the power steering fluid through a loop that is actually inside the radiator to allow the coolant to cool it. The coolant and power steering fluid never mix, just exchange heat. More typically, it is actually the automatic transmission fluid lines that run to the radiator for cooling.
