What would happen if you drove your car after adding power steering fluid to brake fluid?

If the fluid causes the rubber in the Master Cylinder, you can lose your braking ability. The rubber seals in there are designed to cause pressure one way and allow the oil to pass by when you release the brake. If that oil cant get by because the seal is swelled, the fluid will not compensate for the wearing of your brake pads and your pedal will slowly get closer to the floor as your pads and/or shoes wear.

There could be several reasons such as, you forgot to release the e-brake and drove the vehicle with the e-brake on, or a grease seal went bad and grease is getting onto the hot brake drum or brake rotor, or brake fluid from a leaky wheel cylinder or caliper is getting onto the hot brake drum or brake rotor.

Your 1994 dodge started making a noise while driving then power steering fluid was leaked out then the steering became really tightI drove 6 hours like this adding fluid when stopping is my pump bad?
Well......without fluid around the pump I am sure you didn't do it any good driving it that long. May I suggest you add some Lucas Power Steering additive and some power steering fluid to your pump, usually a 20%-80% mix. I would go heavier with a 40%-60% mix and see if your power steering unit still works. I hope you fixed the leak first before following this advice.
