Do not pump the brakes. You will need to get all of the contaminated fluid out and refill the master cylinder.

What should you do if you accidentally poured washer fluid instead of brake fluid in the brake reservoir?

The first thing you should do is remove the master cylinder so you can dump the brake fluid reservoir out. If you have used the brakes, it is a very good idea to get the entire brake system bled and replace all the brake fluid.


You accidentally poured a small amount of oil in your antifreeze reservoir what should you do?

Take off the reservoir & flush it out with hot water to get the oil out. If you drive it it can go through the cooling system and it may distort rubber seals etc. If it's a very minor amount it might not be an issue but flush it to be safe.

What should you do if you accidentally poured a few ounces of washer fluid in the power steering fluid?

You need to remove the washer fluid. You can siphon it out, or remove the power steering reservoir and dump it out. If you haven't had the car running , you may be able to absorb it out with a rag since it is probably floating on top of the power steering fluid. The problem with washer fluid is that it is not compressible and will cause poor steering reaction when it enters the steering pump. It may even cause a loss of steering.
