Brake fluid in power steering?
So I used a turkey baster to add just a hair of fluid to my power steering fluid reservoir...less than an ounce of fluid. Only thing is I used the same turkey baster I used to pull out brake fluid when doing my brakes a few months ago. Didn't think twice about until a buddy of mine told me I could have contaminated my rack and pinion system doing this. Could a few drops of brake fluid cause damage, do I need to flush the entire system? What to you all think?

Nah. It is probably no big deal.
I would worry more if you had done the reverse: contaminated your brake fluid with power steering fluid.

Brake fluid is pretty nasty stuff. It will remove paint. A very small amount probably isn't a big deal, but I would replace as much of the fluid in the reservoir as possible.
I second HRTKD ... probably not gonna hurt anything in a tiny amount...But i'd just go ahead and do your fluid change... cant hurt to have new fluid in there and you will feel better.
