Re: Brake fluid vs. Power Steering fluid?
Saginaw steering pumps are pretty durable outside of particulate contamination. Brake fluid is more like a glycerine...I wonder if it dissolved in solution or if it is more like water and oil.
If it is lighter than oil, then you could siphon it off the top of the pump reservoir real easy. |

Re: Brake fluid vs. Power Steering fluid?
No worries, brake fluid is glycol based, steering fluid is petroleum based. Had you put PS fluid in the brake master ...that would've been a bigger seal issue.
I'd consider a follow up flush as a precaution, making sure to drain pump and rack by moving the steering wheel full rotations. Disconnect lines as necessary to facilitate this, engine off.
