Default ? pertaining to brake fluid in the power steering reservoir

i was pulling maintenance on my car and mistakenly poured a little bit of brake fluid in the power steering reservoir. it was a very small amount. i still needed to add some power steering fluid to top it off. do i need to be concerned? will it do any damage?
thanks
rock

I'm glad I am not the only one that does dumb things.... :D I don't know if it will hurt but I would get something to suck as much fluid out as possible and then add the correct stuff. CHECK to see what to add;i.e., get the right GM power steering fluid, as I believe the Vette uses a synthetic. :)

Anybody know what the correct fluid spec is? I'm miles from my service manual right now.

Just take a Turkey baster and suck it out and refill! :cheers:
