HI I mistakingly put less than one oz power steering fluid in my brake resvoir, I did drive down my street to neighnors house and back used brakes 2 or three times lightly, then used turkey baster to empty twice and replace with new brake fluid, brakes seem ok should I still bleed anyway? Or do u think will be ok?

Bad, bad mistake. At this point I would not bleed. No point in pushing the contamination further down the line. Keep an eye on the master for any swelling in the cap or any brakes dragging. You may have to replace the master. Do it right away if you see any of those symptoms.
