Default i made a mistake, how should i correct it

2005 cayenne s

i was going to top up the power steering fluid but accidentaly put brake fluid in it---appx 30 ml---and then drove for 20 miles-----

i realised what happened and immediately sucked the power steering fluid out of the reservoir and filled reservoir with p/s fluid---porsche brand---

will this be ok---or should i do complete flush and if so is it a diy---

thanks

A complete power steering flush is not exactly a DIY IMHO.

If you are still concerned, remove/change the fluid again, after2X, there should be no residual brake fluid left in the system.
30ml is relatively small compared to the overall system volume IIRC.

P.S. Delete this thread and never mention a word of it to your dealer, assuming you're not naked at this point.
