You read it right, I was in a training seminar out of town and power steering got low on her and the pump started whining. I told her to get power steering fluid and put it in, mentioned that the pump was on the drivers side and she put it in the master cylinder. cookoo When she could only get a teaspoon or two in she realized she might have the wrong hole.......Anyone experienced this?
She drove it about 30 miles and it is parked. I won't have a chance to do a thing to it until the weekend and am hoping that if she doesn't drive it I can flush the system this weekend and maybe squeak by.
Thoughts?

The master is done for sure. I'd not bleed it through. Pull the MC and replace it,new BRAKE fluid then bleed it at the wheels.
