What happens when transmission fluid gets in the power steering reservoir in a Mercury Sable what needs to be done can this be flushed out?
Not if it's a small amount. The 2 fluids are very close and in an emergency you can use trans in Power Steering on most cars with no ill effects since it basically just used for hydro pressure, HOWEVER YOU CANNOT use power steering fluid in a transmission. If you want to flush it out use a turkey baster and draw it out bit by bit adding and running in short sessions until all fluid exchanged. It is a little wasteful but reservoir doesn't hold that much anyway

What if you use the wrong type of oil?
Well, if you only used a different grade of oil, like 10W-30 instead of 5W-30, everything should be fine 'til the next oil change. If you put the wrong type of transmission fluid in your transmission, like Dexron/Mercon instead of Chrysler ATF+4, get the fluid changed and transmission flushed immediately; incorrect transmission fluid type can ruin your transmission. If you put oil in your transmission, or transmission fluid in your brake fluid, or brake fluid in your power steering pump or engine (or any other variation of fluid confusion that may exist), you may be in for some costly repairs. Get the suspect system flushed and fluid changed as soon as possible.
