Please help.....I accidently put some window washer

Hey guys, I accidently put some window washer fluid in the anti-freeze container with the yellow cap. I know this is very stupid of me but i wasn't thinking. I didn't put much in there (about 1/2 cup) but i'm still concerned that i may do some damage. Is there any advice you can give me to resolve this problem or should i relax and not worry about it. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

btw, my car is a 95 max with 117,000 miles.

IMO a 1/2 cup would be diluted enough to not cause a single problem.

half a cut should do any damage at all, it might still be in the container, that container is a resevoir and is only used when the car is getting low in coolant so it takes from there.

you could:

take out that container (pops out easily) empty and refill with coolant to appropriate Max line.

not worry about it

or flush the all the coolant out.

I think you would be fine and at most I would empty the resevoir container.

You can take out the container and dump it out. If not, just go get a cooling system flush for ~$80. You probably need that done anyway. It's recommended to flush your cooling system every 2 years. Your water pump, radiator and water passage in your engine will thank you.
