I just siphoned out my power steering fluid and put in regular synthetic power steering fluid. i know now that tranny fluid is used as power steering fluid in these cars like the benzes. Am i in trouble and should i drain out the old fluid and put in new dextron ATF. Im wondering if this will hurt my steering pump.
There should be a sign saying ATF on the cap or something.

Are you in serious trouble? Maybe not

Should you change it immediately... yes

The only thing i am worried about is i did not do the whole thing so now i have to not only siphon out the reserviour but drian the whole pump which is porcess. The steering seemed so light i am thinking nothing has gone wrong but i will do it emmediatly.

Not necessarly, just do a few drain and refills till its red again. I found out someone put the clear powersteering fluid (lexus dealership before i owned it) and I've been driving it for some time, just switched it back, and the steering is great once again.
