Default power sterring question!!

Ok, so i put my power steering back on and while taking up the line i say a fluid mixed with water coming out of it. I put the power steering fluid in the reservoir and has a light milky look in the reservoir. is this something to worry about or what. i put three diffent types of p.s. fluid in the reservior, could that be a problem.

yes that could potentially cause i big problem. as stated above, honda runs the own ps fluid, so i could only imagine what would happen if coolant and other fluids would do

honda's p/s pumps and racks are very delicate and if you don't run the right fluid and keep a good level you could potentially damage the internals for the components. see it happen alot on the newer honda models recently.
