By mixing water with power steering fluid it will cause the power steering fluid to loose it lubricating and hydraulic ability's. So what will happen is that the power steering system will destroy its self and it will cost you a lot of money. Go to mechanic and have the system flushed out ASAP!

You will burn out the bearings in the power steering pump and contaminate the steering box and it will wear out as well.

It will eventually cease the power-steering.

Don't! It won't work. Your power steering will go out, and you 'll ruin your power steering pump.

I would flush it out quickly it should not do any immediate harm. If it was a very small amount and you haven't started the car yet you could push a rag into the reservoir to absorb it.

the fluid is ther because it won't heat up and evaporate. but water will. Cooking oil would be better than water

lmao is this person for real ?
i am amused
why dont you put water in it and see for yourself
you will find out real quickly that a hydraulic pump does not like water and will lock up in short order
good luck

probably won't ruin it but it wont help it, you'll probably start to hear screeching noises when you turn the wheel, or at worst you'll ruin your power steering pump

It will cause the bearings in the gear box to rust. This will cause the gear box to malfunction.
