I accidently half filled the brake resivour with powersteering fluid. Removed 90% of the fluid from the resivour and refilled with Brake fluid. future problems?  
  
 Probably should flush system but old car and not keeping long.

Don’t you already have a thread started in the last day or two with the same problem?

Take a look there, even if it was not you, as there are response to that very problem.
