The chances for damage are high if you drive the vehicle that way, so change it immediately, for the safety of your seals and pump. Draw out as much fluid out with a turkey baster or syringe as absolutely possible. Then refill it with Power Steering fluid and repeat and few times. Depending on the vehicle, that will probably be fine, however, some vehicles are more picky than others (Hondas, for example, tend to be very particular about their power steering fluid) and if your vehicle isn't running right, then a full flush will be necessary. If all else fails, visit your local mechanic.

You poured power steering fluid in the reservoir and start your car however you see it smoke heavily through the tailpipe until the fluid runs out is a 4A corolla engine?

If you poured power steering fluid into the engine oil reservoir, then you need to have an oil and filter change immediately. Possibly two changes in the next day or two to be certain the contamination is removed. There probably hasn't been any permanent damage done yet, but the longer you wait to remove power steering fluid from the engine oil, the more likely it is that (expensive) damage will occur.Otherwise, pouring steering fluid into your power steering reservoir cannot possibly be related to the smoke and fluid coming out of your exhaust. They are two totally separate systems and cross-contamination is impossible. The problem must lie elsewhere.

Why is the power steering fluid coming out the exhaust of a 99 levus SC 400?

There is no connection from the power steering system and the engine systems. The only conceivable way that power steering fluid would be coming out of an exhaust system is to have power steering fluid poured into the fuel line. Transmission fluid could be coming through a vacuum line. This may appear to be similar to power steering fluid.
