If I accidentally put window washer fluid in my radiator overflow will it damage my cooling systme or my radiator?

It depends on how much was added. Washer fluid is mostly water with some methol alcohol mixed in. So it won’t hurt anything. But since its mostly water it does reduce the antifreeze/water ratio.

I would remove all I could with a turkey baster, something like that… Then refill the reservoir with 50-50 antifreeze mix…But it won’t hurt anything, the alcohol will boil off quickly…
