I accidentally poured some antifreeze into my windshielp wiper fluid reservoir. It's probably a 50/50 mix. Goofy mistake on my part. I would use a turkey baster to suck it all out and start all over but the reservoir appears to be sealed up. There is a sealed mesh like filter where you pour the fluid in.

Is this going to damage anything or will I just have funky washer fluid?

Thanks for the answer. To be clear, are you saying there is some filter between the reservoir and the windshield that will dump 'non' windshield fluid?
