Default Powersteering contaminated with sprinkler (washer) fluid - mazda 626 2.0 Y2000

Hi

The powersteering on our Mazda 626 2.0 year 2000 van got contaminated
with sprinkler (washer) fluid.

GAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Luckily engine didnt get started, so hopefully.............. it is
just a flush of the resoirvoir?

But, what is best/easiest way to do it?

Got 10 thumbs and 2 left hands..............

Best regards

Jens

Get a turkey baster from the grocery store (long tube with a rubber bulb on
the end).

Suck out ALL the fluid from the reservoir.

Refill with whatever correct fluid is specified by Mazda.

Relax.
