Engine Mechanical problem
1962 Chevy Impala V8 Automatic 22,000 miles

I was in a hurry and mistakenly grabbed a transmission sealer instead of power steering fluid bottle. About 1/4 cup of sealer was poured into the
power steering well before I noticed what had happened. What do I do now and will this mishap
do any damage to the engine?

Hi there,

This should not be a big problem, but i would flush the power steering just to be on the safe side.
