What happens when oil gets poured in the power steering compartment?

If it is removed before using, nothing will happen. If you do not remove it, he hydraulic seals in your power steering will be eaten away by engine oil. Your power steering will start to leak and eventually not work at all. Before you drive vehicle, all oil should be drained and cleaned out then filled up with the correct power steering fluid.
