poured oil in power steering reservoir accidently how do i manually drain
You can use a turkey baster to suck it out. also, you probably have a rubber hose connected to the reservoir by a clamp. if you do just take it off and drain the tank.

Good ideas above. Not familiar w/your vehicle, but on my Ford truck some , if not most, of the PS fluid in the steering rack & pump can be expelled by removing the pressure hose and turning the steering wheel back and forth. I discovered this by unfortunate accident … lol … I think there’s a drain plug in the rack as well but have never used that approach.
Did the same thing with my 2000 Blazer. I used a turkey baster to empty the ps reservoir. Refilled with fresh ps fluid and drove it a few more years with no issues.
How about disconnecting the low pressure return line while having someone pour fresh into the reservoir? One would have to do this very carefully and maybe have someone in the car to kill the engine if the reservoir is in danger of going dry. You don’t want to run these systems dry.
