Put brake fluid in power steering; need to flush?

Put brake fluid in power steering; need to flush?
Yes, I screwed up.
I accidentally put about 10-12 drops of brake fluid in the power steering reservoir before I came to my senses.
Should I flush the power steering? Or does such a small amount not matter?

If you have not applied the brakes (as in you have not depressed the brake pedal) the removal of the fluid from the brake reservoir should do the trick.
If you've applied the brakes, I'd err on the side of caution and do a drain and flush.
Brake fluid is corrosive and I'm completely sure what it's affects might be on the seals and internals of the brake master cylinder.
