Girlfriend put brake fluid into my power steering for a week

[dankwun]

So I was out of town and my girlfriend had to borrow my car for work and had to put power steering fluid in it. but somehow she managed to buy brake fluid and has been driving for a week now with brake fluid instead of power steering fluid in my PS system. The Rack and pinion was already leaking and was getting replaced soon anyways but now my power steering pump is also leaking. I was wondering what else the brake fluid could have damaged and what I should check out to make sure my PS system is back to normal.. please help!!

The pump is leaking and the rack is leaking! What else is there?

that's what im asking.. I figured that was it but wanna double check so I can just replace it all at once and flush the system of the brake fluid.

I heard that its not as bad as putting power steering fluid in the bark system. I did it to two car before I realized what I was doing wrong. Both cars brake systems were damage.

Could damage your relationship...

Next time will she be renting a car instead of borrowing yours?

I would put 20 50 in her shampoo

I'd definitely replace the hoses too.

Anything that is rubber in the system is probably now destroyed. :shake:

Brake fluid is corrosive.

The damage to hoses and seals may not be seen immediately, but they may be seen on a longer term balance.

I would sell the car or the girlfriend, or both. Post pictures and I will let you know if I am interested in either. :coolman:
