Hi there,

The power steering switch is just a screw in switch unplug the connection and replace the switch, as for the oil in the coolant, this can be rather serious, i would make sure that the trans cooler(if part of the radiator) has not failed, and have the engine checked for a head gasket / cracked head problem.
