Default steer fluid in brakes heeelllppp!!!!!

it was late nite and i decided to add fluid to the power steer. i didnt notice till later that i put it in the wrong place. so naw i have power steer in my brake lines. un safe cuz i loose brake preasure all the time naw. i took it to ford and they said all was fine but that i needed a new oil cooler. i said fine and they charged me 500 bucks. i get it back and the car sounds like its idleing bad and my a piller gauges dont work. i drive off and my brakes still dont have preasure, engine light comes on and shows im running rich. tell me. is it safe to drive it to work.

You really need to flush those brake lines and hope you didn't do any damage to the master cylinder. Anytime your brakes are acting up, you're taking a big risk driving. I'd get it fixed asap.

Do you have any exact codes? That would narrow it down. Otherwise the EGR valve is the first thing that comes to mind. It might be sticking open.

Dont worry about the rich code. Remember this always, you have to be able to do two things with any car...... STEER IT & STOP IT!!!!

Have the brakes fixed before you hurt yourself or someone else.
Good Luck
