Your in a bit of trouble here. Power Steering fluid will cause the seals in your brake master cylinder, calipers, and wheel cylinders to swell up. The system will definitely need to be flushed out. Remove the lid to your master cylinder open a can of brake fluid and turn it upside down while sticking it on the opening of yoru master cylinder. Much like the bottle of water on an office water cooler. Then go to each wheel and open the caliper and wheel cylinder bleeders. The fluid in your brake sytem will flush out emptying the container of brake fluid into your brake system. Do this a couple times and don't let the master cylinder run dry or you will get air in your brake lines. This may still be too late if the p/s fluid has damaged your seals. If your pedal dose not feel perfect take it to a garage

How do you you flush a power steering system in a 2007 Saturn SW2?
There is really no reason to need to flush your powersteering fluid unless it has been contaminated. Saturn has no procedure for flushing your powersteering system. If your system has been contaminated, you can manually change the fluid, easiest way is to use a suction gun and empty the powersteering reservoir. Refill the reservior until full. start the engine and allow it to idle for a few minuites. repeat as needed until the fluid is clean.
