It will screw up your car. You need to completely drain your steering fluid and replace again with steering fluid. dont leave it like it is.

One way to find out, do nothing and wait to see what happens, worst, leaks. If it were me, I would drain and change the fluid asap, because of seal failure. Most cars use about a quart of fluid in the steering, so the mix is about 33/1, not good!

Completely drain and fluch your power steering system as the DOT 3 brake fluid will damage all the rubber components in your steering system, first the rubber will sweel making it weak, the the seals will burst due to the pressure in you power steering system.

DOT brake fluid is very good solent and will destroy paint and yes, rubber that is not specifically designed for exposure to it. My suggestion would be to drain, flush and refill the system to remove all traces of the stuff.

Drain it and refill with power steering fluid. The two are not compatible.
